I’m in process changing my gears to 4;88. And I got the Dana 35 done but it has bout 1” slop in the yolk/pinion is that normal or too much. And is harder to turn but can be by hand. I hoping it’s all normal just need get some gear oil in it and run it lil bit where it’s a new install lol.
 
What’s your pinion preload? Backlash measurement? Picture of the gear pattern?
