Is this too much movement - Drive train play

[elohim_imanu]

I am trying to chase what feels like too much backlash. I have had the diff professionally adjusted with new bearings, the gearbox is brand new, as is the Nismo sports clutch. New subframe bushes, new shocks, and diff mount bushes. The I am pretty sure it is not the drive shaft, the U joints are sweet. But when I go off and back on the accelerator and with some gear changes, the drive train clunks.

Is this below movement normal? I can see a little rotational movement with the half shafts. The wheels are on the ground.

I have manual converted the car, changing diff, drive shaft and axels also.

Similar to mine. More than desirable but (for 10+ years) impossible to get rid of. At least without replacing everything.

Remember, It's not just what's in the diff that contributes to how much the axles will move. There's also the splines out at the hubs. Sum up all the little slops and hey add up into one great big shitty slop.

Yes, that is what I was thinking (all adding up), but good to know I am not the only one and it is not abnormal, as such. Just annoying as anything and I wonder what it is doing for my gearbox. I tried buying some band new heavy duty half shafts, but they had more play in them than mine.
