14bff pinion + depth shimming

[total newb]

So for a while now there has been issues with 14bff 10.5 aftermarket gears winding up with zero stock style shims and some wanting even deeper than 0. I e built a few that were zero and now have one that is wanting significantly deeper setup.

I found some un labled assumable toyota shims in my box and they fit the pinion head/inner bearing seat sufficiently but digging around and matching a spare race (hm803110) i find that large bearing d60/61/70 inner pinion shims fit the race perfectly.


There was a thread here or on pbb asking about it but hell if i can find it so just throwing the info out there.

Are you asking if it's OK to do? Or saying you did it?

Either way, the answer is.....by bus.

Im just pointing to a source for shims should one need them.


However. Im having some serious troubles with this set i got from a pbb guy (which is why i was searching through my stache of shims)

I've put a few together with 0 shims but never found a source for some shims to install under the pinion bearing.

Thank you for sharing !
