Clunking Diff, Or Is It.. ?

hey there,.

im getting a problem pretty much like axle tramp but when im cornering right hand turns even under very low throttle the rear end clunks an shakes violantly. Its literally like driving a car that has bad axle tramp when you dump the clutch in the wet and it shakes like crazy. it also does it a little when i gun it through 2nd and into 3rd. between gear it shakes a bit, iv only just felt this though because i had my clutch done. the major problem is the right hand turns.

the problems pretty shocking so i need a solution pretty soon. Pedders checked out all my suspention and rekn that everything is in perfect condition and they think that my diff might be is shagged and has huge amounts of play in it which is what they think is causing the shuddering.

The diff also clunks a bit in 4th,5th or reverse when you back on and off throttle lightly so im thinking that my diff is rooted. Surely if the thing has a mechanical diff init it wouldnt be this harsh would it ? and it would do it al the time not just right hand turns ?

advise and ideas greatly appreciated guys!!

cheers

      Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.

      So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!

      OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
