lol nitroboy. anyway, what type of diff is it? one-way, or spool?

if it is a bevel diff take it out and take it apart and put it back together again. if it needs oil, top it off too. thats what i would do, but find out what other people think first.

i bet i know what it is...take look at your outdrive dogbones...when you go to push the car youll see your dogbones in the drive axels jumping around in your outdrives creating that clicking sound...i had the same problem and checked everything thing there was. then i just thought to look there and i seen that the dog bone will ride up then when the pin is completely vertical itll fall. if not this then maybe try the other post
