boost69 Donating Members 737 Member For: 19y 8m 2d Posted 16/11/15 09:11 PM Share Posted 16/11/15 09:11 PM Guys,Sometimes when I give it the boot and then back off suddenly I can feel diff backlash.Is this normal?The car has been jacked up and there is a bit of play when you turn the tail shaft.As in there is a bit of play before the diff engages and turns the wheels.Car is still under warranty, not sure what Ford would do to fix the problem short of changing the diff... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was having sus at mine last night, roll on 3rd at 60k's squeeze gently to WOT throttle and no matter how gently I lift at around 3000rpm which I think is about 80k, massive clunk. I bet im going to find a split bush or maybe even a broken bolt it sounds pretty violent. A little in a ZF equipped car is normal... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
