So I bought a ring/pinion from a member and gave it to Dave to set up seeing as he found the problem, he should get the job to fix it right? Well, the ring gear had some step wear so @ 5 thoug backlash it wold lock, it wouldn't turn smooth until 20 though backlash. That's apparently too much becuase the fucker clunks and clanks around, howls and grinds and is just a general bitch.

Let me make this clear - this was NOT Dave's fault by any stretch of the imagination. We knew this might happen going into it and I decided to flip the coin. Bad move. You can't polish a turd and you can't build things right with bad parts. My fault, not Daves.
False! You can totally polish a turd. Have you not seen that myth busters?
