drivetrain play

[Brett Dikeman <brett@pdikeman.ne.mediaone.net>]

While pulling off a wheel, I noticed what seemed like a substantial amount
of play in the drivetrain.  With the car in 1st and handbrake on, I was
able to rotate a front tire roughly 1/8th of a full turn.  This turn was
accompanied by clunks from the rear and a quieter clunk from up front, I
presume from the diffs and such.

Is this much play normal?  This "play" is noticeable under certain
circumstances, such as starting up in 1st sometimes; most usually, under
shifts.
