transmission play

(1/2) > >>

ian_s:
How much play should there be between my rear prop and the engine?
what i did at the weekend was jack up one of my rear wheels, with the handbrake off and in gear, tried turning the rear wheel,
at the propshaft, i get about 1/8th of a turn, which i think is a tad excessive.
the reason i did this is that i am getting a thunk from the rear of the vehicle whenever i change gear. this seems to have developed over the last few weeks, and its starting to worry me.

TIA
Ian

tried checking the oil level in the diff? it's amazing how quickly it disappears.....

ian_s:
the play in the axle is fine, its the play in the gearbox/transfer box that worries me.

dave_2A_2.25Turbo:
But wouldn't the clunk then come from the centre? Rear is usually rear diff.  Might seem alright turning bits by hand, but when it's trying to push a Landy it's a bit more pressured

ian_s:
under me, behind me, i cant really tell
i know its not infront of me tho :)
