I've been hearing some clunking/thumping noises that happen only on deceleration while the car is in gear. I noticed that there seems to be some freeplay in my passengers side axle/diff. Can someone verify for me if their s54 has the same free play and makes the same clicking sound when you push up/down on the axle or the diff inside?

Can someone clear me up on the e153...
Has the axle spacer issue ever been fully resolved? It seems like ever car has its own issues with finding the right spacer that works, right? Besides that, I would need: rear st205 mount st205 shifter cables ...and what else? I'm trying to fix this issue as cheaply as possible, but I started thinking that if I crack the trans open, and decide I want to buy a new clutch, then I would consider going all out on the e153 as long as I can get one for around 300bucks.

IIRC jim paid 300 for the es300tranny stevenson got for him. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
