TR6 CLUNK

I had a similar problem with my TR6 this past year. I got the 6 up on a
rack and found that I had about 1/4 turn of backlash (!) in the driveshaft.
That meant that I could turn the driveshaft about 1/4 turn (either direction)
before either rear wheel started turning. That's Not Good. So I ended up
swapping out the diff with a used one. I had some people say I could
have kept using the old diff, and others said I shouldn't even back it
out of my garage. I swapped it out, and the noise disappeared. YMMV.
