Ah! You must adjust your gearbox



You need a big *** wrench to put around the huge outer lock nut first. Then tighten the middle bolt till you get the amount of play you want.



Here's the correct procedure.



And replace #10 (bushing)

trust me, search the EF forums for it and you'll see

Adjusting the gearbox is ( for drive side) like replacing the REB for the passenger side
