[QUOTE="GRUSE, post: 15034218, member: 147914"] Well what you are describing is a mechanical soup,a lot of different ingredients combined to make a unpleasant driving experience. Lets combine the similar pieces of the drive train puzzle. A)Vibration and humming in the rear end,B)excessive drivetrain noise when driving around at low speeds,C)bad bearing (no chattering) in the transmission,D)possibility of unbalanced flywheel,E) clunking when changing gears. Is the car lowered?if yes perhaps pinion angel is a factor. Re check track lock kit,if you dont stack the plates and clutch right it will pop and make noise.Not enough carrier bearing preload will also cause this, allowing the ring gear and trac-loc to spin too freely and when going from coasting to accelerating, the gears teeth abruptly engage and make a clunking sound. Another cause could be cracked axle tubes,if the PO beat it launching John Force style.Worth checking to rule out. Binding UCA could also be contributing but that usually with the poly bushings. In another thread you said this all started after a triple digit race.The T45 may need a rebuild or clutch is shot.clunking/hard shifting.My clutch was junk when I got my car had clunking and was hard to get reverse. Like said at the beginning this is a mechanical soup with many ingredients.I'd start with Trac-lok and clutch.Unfortunately a quarter turn of a bolt will not remedy what you got going on,it's going to take some time. Tight suspension and NVH for another day,get some good sticky tires and carve the street. Hope this helped good luck. G [/QUOTE]
