    01E Center Diff: Does This Amount Of Slop Seem Normal? **Video**

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I am doing a trans rebuilt for a locked up 1-2 collar, and was thinking of doing the 4:1 washer mod before reinstalling the center diff. I was looking over the center diff to gauge its condition, and see if there was any pitting or wear marks, but it looks good physically. However, I was wondering if this amount of slack/slop was normal with the "window gears"? I made a quick video, hopefully it helps show what I am talking about. You may need to turn your volume up to hear the "clink" when the gears start feeling resistance. Since i have never dealt with a center torsion diff before, i have nothing to compare it to. Anyone with some experience with these, please feel free to chime in. Or if there is any procedure for checking the tolerances and what they should be, that would be very useful as well. Thank you!


    **EDIT** Added the second video showing the internal view this morning... everything still seem ok? Just want to double check before doing the washer mod

    **added the second video into the first post just to double check and verify with the AZ community that everything seems okie dokie to go ahead with the washer mod**

    Like I say, this is my first time using a torsion center diff, so i am not familiar with seeing what "normal" tolerances are

    Hopefully those of you who are can chime in
