After placing my TR6 on the road this past December I have been driving and 
sorting out various issues. I am now focused on the differential. When I start 
in first or reverse gear (from dead stop) the differential clanks. All u-joints 
are new. Differential mounts are in good shape also. With a tire off I can 
rotate either axle about 5 to 6 degrees before the propshaft engages. If I do 
it fast I get the annoying metallic clank. On the highway all is fine - no 
whining, grinding or anything like that. Is this just a LBC issue that I need 
to get use to or am I looking at a rebuild. Thanks.
