IDEAL CONTACT Pattern is

spread evenly over tooth's
profile with concentration
nearer toe than heel.

COMPETITION CONTACT
Pattern concentrated just up
from the toe covering 1/3 to 1/2
of the tooth.

HIGH CONTACT Pattern is Move the pinion deeper in

concentrated at the crown of towards the differential
the drive gear tooth. carrier (add pinion shim).
 LOW CONTACT Pattern is Move the pinion out away
concentrated in the root of the from the differential carrier
drive gear tooth. (subtract pinion shim).

Move the ring gear closer

HEEL CONTACT Pattern is to the pinion (decrease
concentrated off the heel end backlash) while
of the drive gear tooth. maintaining minimum
