Default Re: Backlash in the Transaxle?

the splines on the output shaft may be worn, but I don't think it would be enough to cause alot of clunk. You can "check" the backlash on the rear diff by jacking up the rear(+ stands of course), rotating the shaft until it stops, make a mark on the shaft/diff. Then roate the other way and make a mark, then measure the spread of the two marks. If its out of spec then they didn't do a good job. I forget what spec is.

Two other possibilities, worn read diff mounts, or worn driveshaft/carrier bearings.
