Doing my first gear install at my work. (mopar dealer, with supervision from my coworker.)
Chrysler 8.25, 4.56 gears.
The last gear set was installed poorly, so it was noisy and the backlash was whack. Bearings failed too.
So I do not want to just re-use the shims as a depth reference.
My question- I have all new Motive gears, and Timken bearings. Factory 8.25 gears should have the "+ or -" markings indicating the addition or subtraction of shims. (As per our FSM at work.)
My old gears, and the new ones do not have this. Can someone explain what these numbers mean? Thank you!

New- I know the "170" is the matching number for the ring.
