rossodave Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Hey guys I have been trolling the forum for a while. I have found some great info on here and you seem like a good group. No my problem. I have a 99 bird that I recently purchased that has a lot of drivetrain backlash. I found some threads on the backlash adjustment, and I have the factory service manual, but it shows three adjustment points where I could find only two. Out of the two I found one was on the right side of the engine near the headers. The second was on the right side of the engine near the intake manifold. I adjusted those two and it seemed to make a big difference but I think it could be adjusted some more. Anyway thanks for any help in advance!

blackhawkxx Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I have a 99 bird that I recently purchased that has a lot of drivetrain backlash. They upgraded the crush drive rubbers in the rear (not sure which year it started) but I put the new ones in and it did make a difference.
