Tooth pattern: look for "hi-lo" contact for Forward and Reverse. Also depth of engagement.
If engagement depth is too shallow then pinion need shimmed out. Too deep (rare), then remove some shim.
Goal is tooth contact in tooth mesh middle zone (as equal as practical) for forward and reverse. I think
When all quiet, use Redline AntiShock gear "oil". For zero wear. Posi additive is a must with that stuff.
