Well like you, I am too held up on a diff build currently. I have most of the carrier side shims on hand, but have yet to encounter a diff that needs one thicker than .126". This diff I am building is one that does, and it needs literally the thickest one available from Toyota. So I placed an...

Welcome

My calipers show - 128mm

Wish you were closer. I would offer to help you out with this. Don't think it's the gears causing the noise, something is off somewhere. Without seeing it in my hands I couldn't tell you where the error is. Your setup and build notes look ok to me, my guess is something is off with the...

Looks good to me. I would have went a hair deeper, but as you said you were running out of thinner shims on the carrier side. If you are not at very high HP levels it won't matter, the pattern you have now is very good. A job well done, nice pattern. Hopefully you have now eliminated the diff...

The old gearset is what I was referring to in regards to the kerf Not the new one. Pattern does look shallow, but not much. Maybe .002" more shim on the new gearset

The areas of the tooth you are marking is just machining kerf. Every OE gearset has this, it's normal both on the pinion and ring. You should inspect the areas of the tooth centered between the heel - toe, and root-face. Where the contact pattern is located. Yup any change, a bearing, a...

Polished to a mirror gear faces aren't unusual, I see them all the time. Usually the ones that are not abused / well taken care of. But in your case, not sure. Hard to diagnose these things over a forum. Did you do full rotations of the diff while out of the vehicle before teardown. In both...

Or get it direct from a connector supplier. https://www.corsa-technic.com/item.php?item_id=660&category_id=124 Mfr: OEM Yazaki Series: 090II Sealed Series OEM P/N: 7283-1015-10 https://connectors-catalog.sys.yzk.co.jp/yazaki-web/servlet/SubServlet_e?forward=7283-1015-10&plist=list&select=XX

I can kind of hear the noise. What speed were you going? Next step would be seeing if it's tied to wheel rotations. Can't tell much from my end but the knocking sounds too slow to be tied with wheel rotations. (Hitting the same spot again and again on the ring gear) I have some annoying poly...

Hmm...odd. Works on my end. Direct link here: https://imgbb.com/12QCXxX

A photo I took :) I liked the small Japanese Subaru Kei Van that showed up that day. Send the word if you are doing another meet there, I like small meetups. Gives me a good excuse to get out of the house :)

Richmond might be ok. But I agree with Andrew, stay away from SVL / Dana gearsets. They key is getting another with 27 spline pinion. Otherwise go with a new Nitro gearset, you will have to convert the seal/flange/nut to the larger 29 spline. Otherwise find another good used OEM gearset

It's Crisp ! How has the new car been?

It's is the same fitment yes. G series Toyota diff. Yes. You checked the coast side gear mesh, should have felt an inconsistency there. A bit strange, but there might be a mark on the pinion or ring somewhere.

Don't think the diff is causing the noise you are referring to. A worn diff transitioning from accel to decel will clunk once, as well as the other way. Only thing that may cause a noise like this would be a physical damage to the ring/pinion. One of your photos showed a chipped ring tooth on...

For those you would need large circlip pliers. They are very stiff. 99% of the diffs never need them replaced. I think I've only ever encountered one or 2 with problems, otherwise fine to just re-use them. A slightly deeper pinion seal is no problem, better this way to ride the lip seal on a...

Looks like you are in good shape, backlash at the low end of the spec. Good pattern on the gears. Run it. Slightly deep on the drive side ring is preferred anyway. Nice work.

Nice work.

Did you disassemble and do anything with the center carrier LSD unit? Assembled you can't check spider gear backlash, only can do that when it's apart. I would say no, that won't be any cause of the clunk noise. You are correct the sloppy pinion / loss of crush sleeve preload probably was the...
