I don't remember if I told you but the 5spd in my 2.2l is really just for

Took the car into Boston and back yesterday, the diff is NOTICABLY quieter.
Even my wife commented.
Last week I was keeping my max speed to about 65mph (with the radio on loud) as
that seemed to be the sweet spot where it got quieter. Yesterday heading in we
were late so I was running 75mph+.

Did the lube that came out look/smell like gear oil?
If it was thin, it may have broken down somewhat, if it didn't smell of sulfur
it may have been motor oil.
Mitch.
It smelled right (horrible that is) but was very thick. Does gear oil ever
thicken as it breaks down? It was deep deep brown, like molassas but not as
thick.

Mobil 1 gear lube is expensive (about $8/qt) but I'm sold on it...
Last three quarts I bought were $3 each. Liquidation outlet...

Why? Because you wanted to buy rubber diff mounts and the tools to press out
the
old and press in the new? Or because you hoped that the noise was
(annoyingly) extra
noisy.

My white, now bent, 190DT has a slight whine when coasting, Mobil1
85W90 made it noisier at first then slowly the noise went away, about
6-8 months.
The rear end, being all of a piece, noises may appear to be diff.
related including wheel bearings.

I'm thinking it's possible the noise could be caused by loose
bolts, but I don't think it's likely.
On the now-sold Albatross (79 240D rear-window bug-killer) the
diff was very noisy. I didn't have time to do more than replace
it with the one from the parts car, but I'm fairly certain that

Mine sounds exactly like an old bus...
It doesn't seem to change with loading but it gets very quiet below about
40mph, barely noticable around town.

I notice your sig, we'd discussed your chariot flying low a couple weeks ago
does this mean they finally gave in or you realized the problem?

Yup it swings low, because of a broken spring. Tried the right front
first, 1 3/4 coils broken away. Don't know how it stays there.
Chickened out on LF. So, being thrifty, I took the springs out of the
bent one, lowest 1/2 coil broken off on both!!

So I got my 190D back, the diff bearing is still making noise but the shrieking
symphony of the stuck parking brake cable is gone.
I've gotten one quote so far for $450 shipped for a diff from somewhere on the
west coast. Still waiting on another quote. Meanwhile Fred has found an early

Interesting, I seem to remember that also.
How big a deal is the mount to do? I'm putting together my next parts order
right now anyway.
