It has a heap of backlash in it. What options should I consider? Just a rebuild and get the gears lapped and reset up or is this a waste of time? I know the trutrac is an option but not keen to spend a fortune is there is another option. The car is a auto BA MKII Turbo with 100,000kms on it. Running 11psi. Let your knowledge spew forth!!

Get a quote, see if you're happy with that. Could also be incorrectly fitted bushes, already broken/torn bushes, backlash could be explained by tailshaft centre bearing...

Still lays down the 320rwkw pretty damn well though I gotta say! Also running SP comforts (but soon to change to the Independent Motorsports Diff Hat Upgrade, awww yeeeeahhhhhhhh) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
