WTH...it was NOT like this, or anywhere close to that...

The mesh is good, pinon and spur are in very good shape. The gears inside and the ball diff are in good shape. Double checked how much i cranked down the tranny case screws, including the screws that hold the wing posts.

A tad of play in my outdrives, nothing really major, very very slight bend in my right CVD, but it doesnt sound likes its coming from there, its a very gear whiney type sound that i never had. My outdrives on my SC10 are worn a bit more and its whisper quiet, left side cvd is also slight bent on there and no noise...

Does the tranny case need some screw torque to hold the gears from vibrating or something?
