Sorry noob beginner stock racer here.
Thanks

There is one spot on the gear cover that rubs the gear if I remember correctly. What I did is I took a silver sharpie and colored where the gear cover would cover the pinion gear. I then installed it, turned on the car and gave the throttle a couple of short blips. I then removed the gear cover and I could see where the gear wore the silver sharpie away. I then to a sanding drum on the dremel and lightly went over that area of the cover. I repeated that process a couple of times until the gear didn't rub the cover anymore.
