[DeTomaso] follow up on ZF output bearings

[charles buthala]

You don't think that the 0.019 inch backlash is going to be a problem?  From what I have read on the adjustment it seems that all the literature suggests between .008 and .012 inch backlash.  
  Replacing these bearings was a lot simpler than I originally anticipated. 
  Thanks JD

Any comments would be greatly appreciated. >>    Sounds like you're there. Be less concerned with the coast-side of the gear   'cause its only effect will be to cause a 'whine' in the tranny when you let   off the gas. A poor pattern on the drive side will not only whine, it will cause   lube heating and more wear to the teeth since its transferring much more   power. Some problems simply cannot be adjusted out without swapping gears. ZFs   are/were sold in matched pairs of ring & pinion and you've doubtless already   noticed that the pinion is integral with the mainshaft so mucho complicated to R&R.    Good luck on assembly- J deryke
