Been finding that there's a few more clunks whirrs and bangs on the old girl than there once was (not helped by the carpet still not being back in the car ) so thought I'd have a look on a ramp and see how much play there was in things what spin! While no individual component has an amount of movement that would concern me, the cumulative backlash from the rear wheels to the gearbox is noticeable... I guess I'm in no way on my own here and the only way to sort it is new CVs on all joints and a diff rebuild...

I do wonder about play in the gearbox/center diff internals as well.Current-2004 Impreza PPP wagon

The majority of this "shunt" is the play in the centre diff - nothing you can do about it unless you want to shell out for a new torsen!
Apparently the 2nd and 3rd gen TORsens don't seem to suffer as much as they have different helix angles on the worm gears, but the torque bias ratio is lower. I'm not sure if they are a straight fit into the CGR / CRB boxes - quite likely I recon.Panthero Coupé quattro 20vt

Im really hoping alot of my shunt gets eliminated when my car is back on the road, ive replaced the following:
All diff mounts
All Gearbox mounts
All Engine mounts
All F+R Subframe mounts
All Wishbone Bushes
Diff and GB fluid.
But im not too hopeful, the diff has a fair bit of backlash. 2 other diffs i have aquired have had the same baclklash, so i dont think there is much i can do about that.
The only thing i havent done is CV's.
Fingers crossed anyway....Black B3 1990 CQ 2.3E converted to ABY & 6spd. (301bhp) - Now Sold

Mine has just started clonking again at the back, the joys of the extra 200hp I guess..

mine has a fair bit but having changed everything under the car but to be honest the best cure is not to reallyrush the gearchanges as you would/could in a 2wd car....they S2 box doesnt like being rushed and there is definately less clunk and thunk when slowing them down a tad.sigpic
