That is normal. Examine the spider gears for wear. Try to move the ring gear & carrier sideways in the brgs. There should be no play sideways. If there is a small amout you can remove the locks & turn the adjusters in a little to remove it. Try to rotate the ring gear. There should be only 5-10 thousands backlash between the ring gear & pinion. I think it probably is OK but these are some things to look for.
You will like the T-5 changeover if you go that way.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.
