940 loose drive shaft

UK 1995 940 2.3 SE Turbo Estate manual



Seems to have a bit of wear in the drive, leading to bunny hopping and bounding around when comming on and off the power. Nothing really serious, just would like the old car to feel less old.



Checking the drive shaft the UJs seem ok, the diff might have a bit of play but didn't seem unusual. The centre support bearing seems to allow alot of movement, maybe 5mm side to side.



Any guesses, typical areas? I might do a clutch change in the near future, along with crank seal etc, is there a drive sleeve that wears between Engine and Gearbox?

Focus on the center support bearing, a typical wear item.

There is no "sleeve," there is a splined shaft interfacing with gearbox and clutch.
