This is a set of 5.13 gears in an 8.8. This is the pattern I have so far. I have
.011 backlash. Does this look like a good pattern? Any advice is welcomed.

I think you're good and I'd run that. But some will argue that you're a little "high":

Thanks IZwack. I thought it looked pretty good but you know when you keep looking at it and trying different shims they all seem to blend and nothing is perfect. I moved the pinion in a little but the pattern I got was the old half moon pattern showing the pinion was too deep. I think I will run this pattern.

Thanks again.
 






Yeah I think you're good to go.
 






I'll be the one that says it's high. But it's fine. I'd drive it down the road. Here you are concerned about the pattern but know enough to adjust it and use the yellow grease for the pattern....Is this a test???:)
 






No its not a test :D I just like a second opinion on something as important as setting up gears. Thanks guys.
