not sure man. I have no doubt in the abilities of your installer.
I know when you install gears you check the pattern to make sure they mesh good. Im thinking if something was wrong with them or they never fit wouldnt it show up when they where checked?
Im not laying blame, so dont think that. just wondering what would cause it. maybe just a bum set?

No sense running around blaming anyone. The "N"'s are a different cut, and DO get set up differently. I'm pulling my hair out(what little I have left) trying to find the specifics. If ANY installer is not familiar with them, they wont be right. It's one of those things, the instructions are in the box and you say "I know how to install gears" and toss them. We ALL do it!!!
