Wire wheels? Could be worn splines. In my experience of sticking rear
brakes there is a very definite tendency for the car *not* to move as the
clutch starts biting, followed by a thump and a small lurch when they
release.
Otherwise, what Hans says, plus the splines on the prop-shaft. As far as
the diff goes you have three input/output nodes, so you will have to lock
two of them while rotating the third to check for play.
