axle play

[Jagxke46]

I've asked before, but got no difinitive answer. My 2001 S 6 speed goes out of warranty next month and I have what feels like driveline play or lash when I lift off the gas and immeditely push down on the gas pedal again. Not a real clunk, but almost. There's play before the power is applied to the wheels. More noticeable in upper gears. The dealer says the halfshaft play is normal, but it just doesn't feel tight as it should. Does anyone else have this?

Sounds normal in higher gears. Be sure to get this conversation with dealer documented on service reports in case this does develop into an issue.

You may then get it paid for by Factory if you can show you reported this under warranty.

Good luck!
