 What I've heard is the same. The reason given was that the anti-rattle stuff 
worked loose and jammed the gears.

I always though it was just a cost reduction!  It is kinda cool thing, in 
engineering school we were told they are only used for precision 
instrumentation where zero lash is nessary.  Showed the prof one out of my 68' 
GMC truck, he kept it!  It was missing a few teeth.
