Dear List,
I need your help and experience. Today I reassembled our TR6 after replacing the rear seal, clutch, pressure plate, all u-joints and updating the seals on the differential. However, I now have a rear end whining sound that I've never had before. The sound is only when decelerating and whether the tranny is engaged or not. Going downhill with my foot off the gas, it sounds terrible. As for the rear end work, I had my mechanic replace the pinion seal and the inner shaft bearing oil seal on the passenger's side. On the drivers side, I think he replaced the whole flange assembly part due to a "Seal Saver" issue that he had with the original part. What I need to know is what might we have done to change the rear end from a well behaved, quite participant to a noisy part of the ride. Your experience is needed, and thank you all.
