Thanks guys, it's appreciated. I will give it the gentle 400 miles and see how it goes. Upto 200 so far. I suspect it just needs a tiny bit more preload via bigger shim.

I'm certain it's diff noise rather than transmission.

The gears the Op used are not GTM or Mazda they are Gear X brand gears.

I have had no luck with Gerar X there quality it sub standard. The Mazda gear set will install as OEM and be OEM like in sound. The issue maybe the install but is more likely the Gear X gear set.

Thanks for the reply puddy. I'm surprised at the comment on the gear x as I know of a lot of B series and one s2000 install which are fine. Out of interest how many cars have you had issues with? Which ones would you advise?

The RX8 is not interchangeable with S2000, wish it was
