anybody have a 3 series carrier...

I got a 3 ch torsen posi. It's different in length. Its longer from the surface that the ring gear rides on to the passenger side bearing. If I put shims on the left side to get that right backlash, the right axle is too far in (c clip wont be retained) and the left axle isn't in enough so I can't get that clip on.
If I center the carrier with shims so the axles are centered, the ring gear doesn't make enough contact with the pinion. It's like I need a spacer for the ring gear.
I've never seen this before. I thought 3 & 4 ch carriers were the same.

The torsen you have is most likely a 2 series and you need a 3 series.
OK i thought about it. Are you reuseing your old gears?
If so 3 series gears wont work on a 2 series carrier.
I may be wrong so if someone else knows better feel free to correct me.

I agree. If you have a 2 series carrier you can use 2 series gears (obviously) or 3 series gears with a spacer. If you have a 3 series carrier you can only use 3 series gears. All differential housings are identical, only differences are which series carrier are inside and tcs/non-tcs. Tcs cars have the relcutor rings on the axles and non-tcs cars have reluctor ring on carrier.
