the bottom with ST2. Fit the ST3 on transmission
main shaft. Shift the gear into 4th or 5th and turn
the shaft several times. Screw in the retainer while
turning ST3 until a slight resistance is felt on ST2.
This is the contact point of hypoid gear and drive
pinion shaft. Repeat the above sequence several
times to ensure the contact point.
