Re: sloppy spools

You may have better luck posting this in the transmission and drivtrain section. I've run spools in various cars over the years and never found anything that I would consider slop in the splines. Depends what your using the car for as to whether I'd run a spool though.

Re: sloppy spools

I don't understand your concern.
Unless you have defective or damaged splines, any "slop" with a spool will always be less than it would be with any differential.
