Just checked the pinion bolt. Its tight!

Are you sure yours doesn't move like that?

I just put the car back yesterday and don't really want to take it apart again Haha

I hope it's not the bearing
 
That’s possible I suppose... but before it moved that far I would think the bell would be hitting the carrier... just have to pull it apart and see I guess ???‍♂️

Good point:unsure: but if you watch the clip again youll see the pinion bolt moves with the gear......... so to me it looks like inside:unsure:
Change my mind im going with cupton loose pinion bolt?
 
Yeah, the bolt moves with the gear. Maybe they didnt thread the bolt all the way into the bell?


What do you guys mean by 'bell hitting the carrier'? I hear it bottom out, but I think that's the bell housing hitting the bearing?
Here is another video, with the engine mounted:
