Ok, so I figured out what the deal was and how my spur was binding with the pinion. As I stated earlier, the slipper assembly floats front to back within the bearings and I think this caused an interference with the pinion in the area I am pointing to in this pic.
The gear root is below the shoulder and due to the position I had my pinion set on the motor shaft (wasn’t centered), the spur would shift to the back of the truck and bind in this area when going in reverse makin the noise I was hearing and chamfering the spur teeth.
So, to fix this to the best of my ability at the time, I just centered the pinion on the motor shaft. Hopefully, it will be enough even when the slipper shifts.
I still want to shim the bearing to prevent the slipper from shifting.
