With t-case out of the jeep:

How much rotational play should there be when turning the tail shaft back and forth. I have rotational play in what seems to be the planetary gears. The long shaft was in good condition and obviously the new sye shaft is in good condition as well.

I have a leak after putting it back together so I have to open it back up. I figured I would ask since I am going to be back in the t case.


I should mention that I have a thread up about some issues I have been having. I am not sure if it was related to the t-case but outside of this play, it looks fine.
