hardtopguy is nearly complete with the testing of my car with new 4.57 gears. It looks like we'll be sticking to the Richmond Gear recommended setting of .008 (that's 8 thousandths). Jeff will be doing one set of additional road tests in the morning so we can be certain, then we'll email everyone who's received delivery to confirm the setting.

We know some of you have installations scheduled tomorrow and later this week, so we'll also post confirmation of the settings here.

question for rick, or for everyone who's doing the gear install.
how does too much or too little back lash set will effect the car?

 

My knowledge is limited, but too little will lead to excessive heat and wear. Too much, excessive noise and wear. Honda appears to have decided on very tight settings, probably to minimize noise. There's always a trade off.

With the Richmond Gears Jeff is reporting no excessive noise at the .008 setting, but we'll know for sure in the morning, by which time he'll have at least a few hundred miles on them.

 

thanx...
whatever it is, 0.008 is very very small number.

the final gear is my next mod...
i hope i can get a set from you soon, rick!

 

I must have checked this thread 50 times this morning....I was scheduled for an install at 9am.....Im trying to deecide if I should head over to the shop and start the Job, hopeing we have an answer before its time to put it all back together........
