A method for controlling a separation between rotational axes (61, 63) of a pair of meshing gears (64, 66) is disclosed. A parameter indicative of a transmission error through the gears (64, 66) is measured and the separation is controlled, aiming to minimise variations in the measured signal. This acts to reduce variations in transmission error and the related vibrations created in the drive system and in the surrounding components. A related drive system (50) and aircraft landing gear (10) are described.
