I really don't think it's the U-joints. It could be, but wouldn't it
make that noise ALL the time? This whining noise only occured with the
foot off the clutch pedal. It would happed under load, while coasting,
ALL the time. When the clutch pedal is pressed fully to the floor, the
noise stops, while coasting, COMPLETELY stops. If it were u-joints,
wouldn't the noise occur regardless of whether or not they are worn? I
still find it hard to believe that a diff. with 34K miles on it could
actually be dying! Could it just be low on oil? The fact that the
loise only occurs when there is INPUT to the differential, not
necessarilt movement, wouldn't that signify a bad diff? Or is this
noise I'm hearing completely normal and nothing to worry about? If I
can get another 10K out of it, I'd be happy.
Thanks,
