That means someone must know exactly what it is that causes the clunk, but they aren't telling us for some reason. I suspect it's a combination of too much backlash in the ring and pinion spec, or the tolerance in the spider gears and the axles, or both. I wonder if the noise persists even if you put in a 9" differential.

I have an Auto, but it was awfully alarming. My 79 has about as much play as my 2011, and you'd think the 2011 should be tight... I can move the wheel about an 1in in each direction. I am going to change the fluid this weekend and I should be able to get a good feel to see what kinda wear and tear is going on once I take the magnets out. Glad to know I'm not the only one, though...
