4.77 Gears

[rowhard]

Third, the seller mentioned something that I don't quite understand. He said, "It was run for a while with excessive backlash and is a little noisy at highway speeds. Probably should have backlash reset properly". What the heck does this mean, and should I be concerned? Is this something that would need to be done during install anyway?

Thanks,
Kyle

Backlash is the amount of play or slop between the pinion and ring gear. More play, more noise. It adjusted on the bench by shimming. Look at page 304 in the workshop manual will help you if you want to take this one or to get an idea of what it will cost you

In this case, it also means that your potential gears were clanging back and forth whenever the gas pedal was put on or off. This could mean the gears are potentially more worn than they would be normally. As far as I know, I think someone mentioned in an old post that we were able to order the front 4.77 set anyways off of a late model Amigo if I'm not mistaken.

Are these the stock gears for his trooper pr did he put them in later?

the reason i ask is because if they were stock you might beable to order a replacement R&P from http://ricartparts.com/ i asked them about the 4.77 gears before and they told me they need the vin#. so maybe you can get the vin# from this guy if they were stock, it was an option I believe on the 2 dr RS troopers with the wide tire option. the gear stup would be around 500.00
As far as the limited slip in the front i don't know how its road manners would be. I have the Aussie locker in my rear and I can hear it click sometimes going around corners, but i pay it no mind.

I guess it matters what the price is. The rear locker is around 8-900.00 and it is already installed but you may have to have it rebuilt. I paid 450 for my rearend with shipping and what ever the locker price was and then had to have them installed. Does his price come with all the things you need to install the air locker like compressor setup...?
