this only happens under load, & usually after making a semi sharp corner, but it feels like the rear diff is letting go. the rear end shakes & makes a bit of noise almost like the pinion gear isn't catching, letting off the power & trying again, or pushing in the clutch & trying again a few times will restore power to the rear wheels. last time i changed the oil back there, there was a LOT of metal filings attached to the drain plug. i suppose it could be coming from the transmission, but it really feels like it's coming from the back of the car & i don't want to change the tranny again. has anyone ever experienced anything like this ?
thanks =)
oh & i can't find the tag on the axle anymore to check it's ratio for a swap.
