Working on rebuilding a Dana 30 HP. Was wondering if im getting close to the right gear pattern. Getting a lot of mixed messages reading other sights. I appreciate any insight.

Thanks Chris judging by the current pattern what do you think will be The best coarse of action to get it close to perfect? This is my first rebuild and it’s kinda throwing me off a little bit. But practice makes perfect.

I've only done one set on a British car and that looks pretty well centered on all points in both forward and reverse.

You're brave! This is the one thing I've been too afraid to do myself out of fear of really messing something up. I mean I can rebuild an engine, but gears just seems so daunting.

I was an inspector in a helicopter gearbox room for many years, these patterns look good to me. Sorry for the delay in replying.

I have set several R&Ps in the past and that pattern is Golden!
