"I've heard that different weight oils will make them trim at a different speed"....correct....

I had the same problem last week,

Re: One drive trims faster than the other ???
 

Thanks for the info.

It's just strange that this just started to happen after i pulled the drive and then re-installed the drive. How do i know if the Rams need to be rebuilt vs. the pump? will the Rams physically leak fluid past the seals ?

Re: One drive trims faster than the other ???
 

yes,someone please tell me too,,where is this o-ring?

Re: One drive trims faster than the other ???
 

inside on the end of the ram....ya put the trim limit spacer in the right way?

Re: One drive trims faster than the other ???
 

Is it possiable to tighten up trim ram bolts(or some other) to tight and cause drag/friction? just a thought.

Re: One drive trims faster than the other ???
 

too tight?no...they are shouldered....

we shim everything VERY tight...a few extra #'s of force means nothing to something that can move thousands.

Re: One drive trims faster than the other ???
 

Are you talking about the spacer on the inside of the gimble ring opposite side of where the limit switch screws on ? There is one on each side ?

If so, when i pulled everything to replace the gimble bearing the spacers stayed on the insides of the ring. i didn't remove them. just put it all back the way it came out.

the celery sticks

Re: One drive trims faster than the other ???
 

oh those celery sticks where the pin goes through. I actually didn't touch that either. i dont even remember seeing it. That side drive housing is original....did they have the oblonged rear pin holes in 1996 ? If so the celery stick was stuck in there and didn't fall out when i pulled the drive.
