The cross-shaft I pictured is from my G80 9.5" axle.Does a G80 have a cross shaft.
The "Gov-Lock" has several designs, the unit used in the 10.5" axle is substantially different than what's in the 9.5", which is different from the 8.5 Gov-Bomb.

Yup when a millimeter is approximately the thickness of a standard paper clip, less than a spark plug gap...that ain't much!0.749mm is a small threshold!
Legend! Thanks again. Pictures tell a thousand words.INSPECT the cross-shaft, C-clips, and axle shafts. Replace as needed.
My experience is that the axle shafts outlast the clips and cross-shaft; but check the axle shafts anyway. Most of the wear on the cross-shaft is from the spinning spider gears.
And if that doesn't fix it...I bet you need new clutches in the Gov-Lock.

Poorly-posed; but the wear marks from the spinning spider gears on the bottom edge are visible...if you look hard enough. Wear marks from the axle shafts are very slight, nearly impossible to see in these two photos.

If gmt 400 9.5" axles are the same, I am over by 1.251 mm (0.049").Yup when a millimeter is approximately the thickness of a standard paper clip, less than a spark plug gap...that ain't much!
Thanks Shurkey - much appreciated.Here are the photos I meant to takes yesterday. The center block is actually not solid as I assumed...
I did find this source for axle endplay, but it's listed for the 14 bolt 9.5" GMT 800/900...
I've been digging into G80s (including a how-to replace clutch packs on an 8.0'' unit) and am struggling to understand how correct meshing of the axle shaft gears with the spider gears is achieved and maintained.The cross-shaft I pictured is from my G80 9.5" axle.
