mmmmmm, wow.. Sh#T, I wrote it and still went on blind.. The diff gets no movement when in neutral and stationary...? I assumed after replies that there must be something going on.. Do you have any ideas on what i can be..?Quote:

If you hear it when the car is in neutral then it has to be something forward of the transmission input shaft. If it doesn't change when you push the clutch down or let it out (still in neutral) then it's not the clutch or input shaft bearing.Quote:

In neutral, idling, does the sound get faster with more revs? If so, I expect its bearing damage in the engine.
That said, Stevharr had a ticking sound in the engine. Was about to pull the bottom end apart when we worked out it was the air conditioner compressor. Bearing was stuffed. We just swapped out the compressor.
I know you think it's coming from the rear but you really need to get a second opinion from someone standing outside the car. I thought my transmission output shaft bearing had gone so rebuilt it, only to discover it was my diff (hence the rebuild). It could be your valves are out of adjustment from what you've told us.
Hey man. I worked out. I believe the cvs.. Well actually just the right (driver) cv. It just keep ls turning. The noise is coming from there.. The left seems fine.. But yea. It keeps spinning in neutral too. Is that normal when cv snaps?Quote:

But, if you see you right CV cup spinning and your wheels are not turning then the tripod is blown.
Something like this:

Yea. And that sits in the cv joint axle? So a new cv joint n axle will be all I need. While I'm at it I will most probably replace both, and raise the car slightly higher. Do you know the cause of this auss2000?
I know what caused mine. Launching off the lights and getting wheel hop.
Yea. Makes sense now. Thanks alot bro. Really appreciate that. Ps how much did a new one set you back??
I bought a used set of axles and swapped them myself.
^^He also said the noise is coming from the diff when in gear?
VeyYzZii - Yes my car was lowered with kings when my crown & pinion made the same noise you descrive (now I have coils :) )but no spacers either. I also heard that diff problems with the S are related to them being lowered. I guess it'd be wise if I got spacers then huh!
Lol - sorry Aus - my computer at work was too slow to load up page 2 - nevermind VeyYzZiI Aus will surely sort u out!
