I have started to notice noises that I attribute to excesive differential clearance.
When shifting up I can generate a "clunk" type sound. Also while driving I can generate the same thing by feathering the throttle. I can eliminate the noise by being excessivly smooth on acceleration. I seem to be able to duplicate the sound by raising the rear wheels off the ground and rotating the rear tire. My questions are: How is the pinnion/ring gear clearance set? Can it be adjusted with the dirve train still in the car? How long can I let this go? |

Are you sure it's the pinion / ring clearance? In my experience, when they start to wear bad, they usually resolve themselves rather quickly.
It could be the cv joints or the spiders. |
