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?

Alright, that clears things up for me.
I have some thinking to do, and some deep analysis of my none existent budget to see if this is even possible. I think what I'm going to do is take my motor out, and get the trans off. Then if the clutch is in good shape and I can keep it, I'll probably just go for an s54 to make things cheap. But if the clutch looks like it might be a good idea to change, I'll consider the e153 since that would just be a few misc parts away. One thing that kind of turns me off from the e153 is the fact that if you ever have to replace the axle, for some reason, you'll be stuck doing your own rebuild. I had to replace my axles a few times over the years, and I really liked how I can just run to carquest or nappa, and come home with a fresh rebuild ready to go in. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

EDIT: after thinking for another min... its because mine has the MR2 LSD huh?? This post has been edited by pittfirefighter: Apr 20, 2009 - 2:37 AM -------------------- Breaking Axles...
