The hardened surface has worn off the crown wheel and pinion and it is that
you can hear. The only solution is a replacement (recon) differential.
Gearbox noise reducing lubricants such as Moyslip (in the UK) may help. but
they may also rot the bronze/copper bushes in the diff! But if it needs
replacing, what have you got to lose??
