I just switched from a 9" to a quickchange. The problem I'm having is the amount of "slop" or play when I spin the driveshaft by hand. If I'm spinning it forward then change and spin it backwards, there's almost 1/4 of a turn on the driveshaft before the wheels move the other way.
Is this a problem in the ring and pinion or spool or both? I've never really worked on a quickchange so I don't know. Is this something I can adjust or do I need to pull it out and take to someone who knows about them?
Thanks in advance for any help.

No problem at all, It has to go thru a lot of gears and that makes it sloppy.

Your drive plate splines could also be worn causing this also. My sons car has a lot of slop it is the drive plates on his.

things to check# spline for the gears, lower shaft, spool, and drive plates check them all before you strip them out .
