You should still check the backlash as it could be different with a different carrier. You will notice there is a little bit of play if you gently rock the two gears back and forth, that is the backlash. Ideally measured with a dial indicator but I do know people who just have a "feel" for how much play is there. You need a little play so the gears are not bound up which will also result in more wear. Just check your old ones if you haven't torn it apart yet as a comparison.
