$3000?? I bought a new VCU and planetary gear (it came free with the VCU) for $475. I installed it, when I changed my output shaft, with the transaxle still in the car. However, this did nothing to fix my clunk. If you really want, I'm sure you can find a used one. However, I doubt it'll fix your clunk.

So are you able to measure backlash at your differential with the car in gear?

I'm now of the opinion that the majority of my backlash is coming from the driveshaft back. Either bad carriers, rotted out rear section of the driveshaft or play between the spider gears. Hoping to get at 'er in the next few weeks to finally fix this problem.
