Too much drivetrain play - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

When I get under my car I can twist the driveshaft and make it clack at the termination point of the turn. It seems there is too much play. Would this be a problem with the pinion gear on the rear differential? I'm running a 240SX VLSD (4.083). This causes major problems while driving since the car doesn't want to shift right. It feels like the throw gets caught on the drivetrain slack. If I shift quick enough between certain gears I can negate this, but it's quite annoying.
