Thanks man, I really appreciate that... I went back and checked everything again and again... I still think i have the right parts... The way the Richmond pinion is made looks a little different than the factory pinion in the taper on the end facing the carrier. I put the same shim thickness as was with the factory gears and carrier to start with. I was putting it all together without the crush sleeve so I could check the contact pattern but the carrier wouldn't go all the way into the bearing seats before it started making contact with the pinion. Im not sure how much room there should actually be between the pinion and the carrier, but I would think that just having a few thousands to much in shims wouldn't allow contact. Im using 28 thousands on the shims to start with. Im stumped right now.
