Default Re: Pinion gear and Mitchell Overdrive

We just put a Mitchell in my coupe. I rebuilt the rear end a couple of years ago and set the pre-load in the process.
When we installed the Mitchell used a special Mitchell tool that allowed us to remove the pinion and bearings without disturbing the pre-load (2-large nuts on the pinion) then removed the axle and replaced with the Mitchell axle and unit. Tom is right, if you disturbed the nuts you will need to re-set the pre-load.
I am running 3:54's with the OD and works just fine.
