Definitely a likely possibility that it was an auto originally, but I have heard of column stick shifts with bench seats. As I said, I've never seen one. Easy to tell by the tranny tunnel, or tranny crossmember mounts.

Noisy diff can surely mean a bad bearing, which is usually the case. Or bad gears. But if its empty of fluid and has been sitting a while, some good old gear lube can work wonders.

Or it could well be in the suspension, driveshaft, transmission...etc. Real hard to tell sometimes. Especially from a computer monitor. Always best though to do the easy stuff first.

I have a '68 122 with an auto... they made 'em to the end I reckon.
