Earlier, you had implied that the problem with your differential was just the ubiquitous "clunk" heard when first engaging a gear from standstill, or when changing from 1st to reverse. If that's all

Obviously the shops that you have talked to are either too busy to take on a relatively small job, or not qualified to work on your car! From your description, of the problem, changing the different

What you say is true, Charles, if one is going to replace bearings or gears in a differential. However, the replacement of thrust washers can be done by the "weekend warrior" and requires no "special
