Diff shims

[AndyG]

Hello,

I'm mid build with my ZX5, and my only niggle so far is the mesh of the front diff. I'm using a front one way, and have shimmed it as per the manual, but it feels to have a bit of a tight spot as a result.

I'm further on in the build, but I'm considering revisiting it, and using 3 0.2mm shims on the one side to move the diff over and away from the prop shaft gear.

Any tips on how other people have got it shimmed up?

Cheers

ave a read of the review mate, I had the same issue and I think a lot of people found the same thing.
I swapped one shim over to the other side to space them apart slightly.

yeah, I'd spotted that in your report before I started the build so I was anticipating it.

Was just curious to know what configuration of shims people had ended up using.

How easy is it to open up the front gearbox up once the car is fully built?..... I feel it's easier to judge the "freeness" of the gearbox with the wheels on.
