So I ordered the original pinion bearing and stripped everything. Stoned all mou ting faces. Re assembled with the 1.15 shim I intially removed and still have the same pattern? Set up as per FSM with 0.18 back lash. No binding across 360 rotation or change in loading. I’m stumped

Firstly thank you for taking the time for such a detailed response I appreciate it! The gears are what I would consider good/ great condition as far as surface condition. upon visual inspection no major signs of excessive wear across any on the contact surface or root of tooth. There was no...
