Having just completed the resto of my '73 TR6 I am starting to hear some "clunking" type noises from the rear of the car. Thinking it was the diff mounting points I crawled under to have a look and the mounts look fine.
Next, I put the rear on stands and put it in first and reverse. In both cases, the rear passenger wheel had the drive while the drivers rear wheel barely turned at all and when it did it was quite "choppy"
I was surprised that both wheels were not rotating when in first gear.
Is this normal? Will both wheels rotate in a higher gear?
If I need a new diff, is it better to rebuild the one I have or look to buy another one? Does anyone know what a fair price is to pay for a used diff?
I know that I have posed a lot of questions, but I thank you all in advance for taking the time to answer.
