I still haven't got the hang of this new format, but here we go.

If you right click on IMG the then open in new window, you should see a short vid of my differential.

The handbrake is on, transmission in neutral.

This backlash can't be right, can it be shimmed out?

To me thats not too excessive. One question though - was the gearbox in neutral?

Thanks for you opinions guys, and your support Litcan91. I have a horrible clunk coming from the diff but i think the issue lies elsewhere. i'll keep looking.
Thanks again.
