Default Jag IRS Ring/Pinion adjustment

Hi folks. I have a late XKE/XJ IRS that someone replaced the pinion gears on. Put it under the car and could hear a noise like either flat spots on bearings or too much play between ring and pinion. Any suggestions for a repair shop in the Tampa Bay area? Thanks for any help.

The JAG rear end is probably a Dana 44 which should make finding a mechanic much easier. It's not rocket science but should be taken care of by someone with adequate skill and experience.

Go to Coventry West. I had a local place with a very good reputation install my gears and LSD. What a mess! To say they screwed it up would be an understatement.

Spend the money and send it to the people that will do it right.
