Hi Ken,
The .030 is much closer to being correct. I think you may have a pinion
gear shim issue. I have been told that the pinion gear depth setting
shims sometimes break up & cause excessive gear backlash. Either that or
there is a bearing/gear problem. There could possibly be a transmission
problem also, but there is definitely a ring & pinion problem. The
pinion securing nut is not loose I hope. Maybe Earl Kagna will jump in
on this.
