10 bolt play need help

so under shifting the manual transmission or suddenly acceleration it does hard shocks to the differential
i put the transmission in N and put the handbrake on and got play between the ring and pinion gear (here a video http://sendvid.com/5ldtixzn )can i readjust the ring gear ?
how much play should be there ?

Can't really"adjust" anything.

It probably needs pinion and carrier bearings.

Re: 10 bolt play need help

I think if it were the pinion bearing the U joint flange would wobble around concentrically. It's nearly unrealistic to have significant play between the ring and pinion gears and not have a rear end that whines incredibly or can still turn. My bet is that your carrier needs rebuilt.

Yeah, at 120K miles I'd say the carrier needs rebuilt. Might as well do bearings while you're in there.
