Welcome,

I don't have that model, but if this is where your motor meshes with the gears, if there is an adjustment, it is usually the motor that can move by loosening its mounting screws. Put a piece of paper between the gears while you re-tighten, that should set the gear mesh correctly.

Thank you, those gears are meshing good, it's the ones inside there rear differential that aren't meshing.
 
Differentials usually require shims to adjust the mesh, but you'll need to know the diameter of your input/output shafts as well as the outside diameter of the bearing that supports them.

Once you have the correct size shims, it's a game of add a shim and check the mesh until you find the combo that gives the proper mesh without binding.

Thank you, very much! Once I figure out what you just told me, I'll do it... It may take me a minute, but thank you.
