Default how to tell if your diff has to much slop??

not with shimming, with the gears themselves. i just cleaned and replaced the fluids. Now, if i hold both outdrives with one hand and turn the conical or diff housing with the other (locking the diff). I noticed one had just a tick of play while the other had a little more.


so. How much is too much? How do know when to replace the gears?


Mugen6 diffs, 5k weight, 5 gallons on them.


I obviously don't want to run it if there is a chance that it could take a dump.
