I have had noise from the day I got this car, I figured it was U-joints.
I payed $6000.00 for this car thinking u-joints was all I needed. I have had all U-joints replaced and both rear hub bearings. I still have all kinds of noise. Pulled transmission out, found chips in a few teeth, replaced it with a S&K trans and OD, also had a new clutch put in. Still have noise, had drive shaft ballanced. Now my mechanic wants to start in on the rear end. With the car on a lift, and running in second gear I
can't tell if the noise is realy in the rear end, it sounds like the drive shaft is making noise. How can I be sure that the rear end is the problem.
I won't go into all the the things I have done myself to this car. I have
more in part's and repairs than I paid for the car

Can you describe the noise a little more explicitly?

Ha, wouldn't worry about the cost to own, I have a rule "never add up the invoices!"

Have you had the rear end serviced with new fluid and the proper amount of additive?

What you talkin' 'bout additive Willis?

GM Limited Slip Axle Lubricant Additive.

Requires one bottle (4 oz).

Yep, slipping clutches make a lot of noise, also when you drain r.e. check for metal filings with a magnet. If theres a lot of junk better look further. I think theres a special tool to get the fill plug out and it's a bear to get at, I was going to check mine and gave up.
