Just developed a growling vibration when decelerating but will go away when clutch is pushed in . Only really notice it at higher speeds. I'm leaning towards it being something in rear end. Any help would be much appreciated. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 899 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 899 | First thing to check is tranny and differential fluid levels before you do much more driving.

I suspect the U' joint may be coming loose.

Diff was a little low but not much. Also found the cap and gasket that screws on to champaign glass section of tube that goes around ujoint was just hanging on the tube. Tightned everything and filled fluids went for short test run and everything was quiet.
