Hi, I have lurked on and off for a while but have finally bought my first Transit (german type)! It came with a few things to fix, the main one being that it makes a loud noise when I let go of the accelerator while driving. I found a youtube video that suggests that it could be missing pinion preload. I have the german axle with 10 bolts for holding the cover, does anybody know the torque values I need to know to set the preload? I am thinking that I can buy new bearings and seals and see if that helps.
The noise is similar to this video:
