944 differential troubleshooting
 

Hi all,

after posted for a banging sound when starting off, and after many hours to search ... I finally ask myself about the differential ....

here is my first thread about my orginal problem
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-924-944-968-technical-forum/686292-944-163hp-banging-when-starting-off.html

and I found this thread, the only difference is that the clunk appears only during acceleration :

I checked the clearance of the part with the red arrow and I have clearance in radial direction (very small) and in axis direction (much more), is it normal ?
is this clearance could cause a banging sound ?

So, do you have experience about noise caused by the differential ?
a differential bearing could cause a bang when starting off ?

I'm a little bit lost, and I found lots of post about "rear clunk" on 924/944 ... :(
but never a real solution ....

thanks in advance
