Greg,

Was this an easy job to retrofit? Or did it require any modifications?

I chased after a "rear end" clunk for years.  Decided it was in the =
differential, and decided to replace it with a Nissan R200 limited slip =
after replacing u-joints and checking mounts many times.  When I was =
installing the differential and new, shortened drive shaft I discovered =
one of the transmission mount bolts had gone missing.

If you are not finding it, may be worth expanding your search, however, =
the only when cold thing is a bit of a head scratcher.

BTW, very glad I did the diff swap, even though it was not the cause of =
the clunk, car is much quieter, especially  with the top up.

Twenty years of rear end clunk when I put it in reverse with cold engine =
and I'm tired of it. But as soon as the engine warms up it disappears =
and i dismiss it. Do I bite the bullet and get it checked out? I'm sure =
my mechanic will say get it fixed. And how much do you think a repaired =
rear end will cost me?=20
