Then I’m not sure what you’re trying to demonstrate. With the box(es) out of gear everything is free to move so you can’t really see play compared to a fixed position. There’s clearly backlash in your setup though.

Put the main gearbox in gear and the transfer box in high and then see how much backlash you have. On a Tdci it’s likely to be the rubbish coupling shaft on the back of the gearbox.
