<VV> LM Differential Yoke end play question

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

 The washers probably won't do it. I've seen someone make up a block that the spider shaft goes through to not only fix the sideplay issue, but adds enough bearing surface to keep it tight. Anyone know who makes this thing?

Subject: <VV> LM Differential Yoke end play question


On an LM Differential where the yoke "clunk" in and out just a slight bit
(on
both sides), can the end play be adjusted?

On page on page 4-10 (1965 GM
Corvair Manual), in the exploded view "41" of
part 25, is the "side gear thrust
washer" (part "41-C") a shim that is
replaceable with different "gauges" to
clean up that end play? 

If replacing the "side gear thrust washer" will
solve the end play problem,
where can these be had?

What is the correct
thickness, to see if the ones I have are worn too thin?

I see no reference in
the manual for replacing them, and it seems that this
is where the looseness
is.

Any hints on how to tighten this up?

Thanks!
Charlie
