Here's one for guys who have experience with replacing a pinion or the Patricks 3.55 conversion:
How much play is acceptable between the pinion splined shaft and the driveshaft?
The manual shows using a big old puller for removing and replacing the pinion shaft. So must the splines themselves always be a tight fit? Or will the pin hold the whole setup together?
Mine had a broken pin, and the splines are a loose fit.
