The limit`s 5mm on the diff casing (see link), that`s probably 1/16th rotation or less!
I phoned the dealer and I had the read the old work order back to me. It says they adjusted the rear differential backlash from 8mm to 3mm. They source the cause of my backlash to be the transaxle, as the backlash measured @ the output shaft is grossly out of spec.

Does anybody know the causes of backlash in the transaxle?
