Default Re: Abrupt stop in reverse gear

Saw a similar problem several years ago. Opening the rear end revealed several teeth broken off the pinion and several damaged teeth on the ring gear. Further investigation revealed that although the pinion preload nut and its corresponding jam nut were locked together by the "winged washer" they had not been properly torqued together to lock them to the threads of the pinion and were moving as a unit allowing the pinion to move in relation to its mesh with the ring gear until its mechanical limits were exceeded.
