I resealed my tranny over the winter and didn't notice too much play in either of the output flanges. I did replace the drivers flange with one from a doner trans because years ago I had the CV bolts back out and it ovaled the hole for the roll pin. I figured since the flanges have to come off to reseal the tranny I may as well change the flange. Now when I checked the CV bolts I noticed I can move that flange up and down, while the other side has minimal play. Is this something to be concerned with or is it just normal?
I plan to unbolt the CV and make sure the bolt didn't back out holding the flange to the dif. Thoughts? |

There should be no play up and down. Period.
I'd take the CV off and double-check the torque on the flange bolt. Once it's torqued down into the diff the carrier bearings under preload keep it from any up-an-down or side-to-side movement. Did you replace the o-ring on the diff side-plate? Are you sure the diff side-plate is torqued properly as well? Something's amiss. Good luck! |
