I took my car to the stealership because they told me that the clunk I hear when going from decel. to accel. was caused by excessive backlash in my rear dif. It took them 8 hrs to adjust the rear dif. and the "clunk" still had not been fixed. After pulling my transfer case they are now telling me that the clunk is coming from my transaxle and it has to do with too much forward to reverse play (15 thousandths whereas spec. = 4 thousandths) in the output shaft going to the transfer case.

Does anybody have any idea what exactly is causing this excessive amount of backlash in the output shaft? Could this be VCU related?

Thanks.
