Trying to determine whether the inside splines are worn. Difficult to hold
and measure whether they slip.
Chuck,
The lands do not wear off at the top but rather they wear off at the sides
until they get so thin that they break off and there's no connection between the
trainsmission and differential. The lands on the trainsmission output shaft
do not seem to wear at all. It's the lands inside the pinion shaft that get
all of the wear. You can tell how much wear they've had by looking inside the
shaft. My rule of thumb is if they appear to be half gone the shaft should no
be used. If less than half worn the shaft is usable. IMHO
