Message	Hello all...new to this forum, but I am not a newb to Zs or cars for that matter - I own a custom shop in Sacramento. Did a search and could not find any answers to my specific questions...if they are out there, please accept my apology in advance. Anyway, 1993 NA - "clunk" in between the lower gears, it disappears in the higher gears. Jacked up the rear of the car, and tested the amount of play by spinning each wheel. By placing a mark on the tire at the outer edge, I was able to determine that each wheel spins about 1/2" (based on that mark on the outer edge). Questions: 1.) Does anyone have a frame of reference for how much play there should be? 2.) Does anyone know the correct amount of lash in the ring/pinion? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Randy Stewart http://StewartCustomCars.com
