So all my jobs are slow... But over the last little bit I pulled my rear diff to rebuild it. The reason I am doing it was I felt in the clutch and drive train to me, back lash. Also I had excessive noise in the drivetrain.
Prior to stripping the diff I took the measurements. I think I have .017 of back lash. Run out of the gear did not move more than .003 on my dial indicator. But it wasn't easy to check with indicator bouncing along.
Pulling the drive pinion. I noticed some wear in the splines. There is no mention in the FSM about acceptable spline wear between the drive pinion and the companion flange. I see a little movement together. Like 1-2 thousands of an inch. But Its hard to measure.
Please have a look at these pictures and let me know what you think. My picture inside the companion flange isn't clear. It did not seem as worn.
