    hey guys

    it seems that the backlash in my borgwarner is out (with the car traveling along at any speed with zero throttle, its whisper quiet, with throttle on it whines) and there is freeplay in the tailshaft

    i know it will eventually fail, but im trying to prolong this for the mean time, so my question is, what can i do to prolong its death?

    currently its got fresh (Read: 1 week old oil, and its slightly overfilled) LSX90 castrol crap (that was $8, win) and im considering getting some thicker penrite 10 tenths oil for it, but im unsure as to if it will actaully do anything?

    after searching what oils everyone uses, it can be gathered that the weight of oil is less of an issue then the frequency at which you change the oil?

    so, in essence, with my backlash whine, what should i best do?

    i have heard of this but don't see how it works, always thought it was for the comical benefit of the "suggester" watchng the "suggestee" attempt to insert said peel into the filler plug

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (seek @ Nov 28 2007, 11:06 AM) </div>dodgey way of fixing it, if you have access to a rattle gun take your tailshaft out and on the front of the diff housing is a nut do that up and "feel" your back lash :2thumbs:
