1717 vs LST XXL diff

[Ola]

Ok, i`m doing a new diff now.. The new diff that came, was somewhat tight just as the other one`s been.. When rotating the pinion, i feel every tooth touching..
I can turn it with my fingers easy, but it feels alittlle notchy. No slack, ofcourse.

How tight should this mesh be, when i do my shimming now? Should i shim less tight, so everything runs silk smooth, or is it OK for a new pinion/ring gear to be this tight?

It had one shims on the cup side, none at the ring gear side. And one shim on the pinion. Just as every other LST diff i bought.

I know that the pinion shim is the one that has to go to get it smoooooth, but i`ve read about letting new part be alittle notchy too, so i want some opinions from you guys..
