Savage 25 diff. Help please!!

Hey people new problem,(hpi savage 25) after breaking my pinion gear that connects drive shaft to diff I changed it and now they are not connecting good.. I used a genuine part from another savage 25. The mesh is too far and the gears slip. So the rear wheels won't turn on the ground. Because the gears just skip any ideas?

Did you accidentally put in a pinion from a bulletproof gear set? They are very different

Nope, just figured it out.. the diff had to much side to side play, barely making contact with the pinion. Shimmed it and it's good now ! Thanks
