While putting our green machine back on the road for this
year, we thought the knock was one of the u-joints. It
isn't. May have to replace part of the gears because,
without looking, the mech is wondering if it is a "lost
tooth." The "knock" is consistent with the speed of the car,
not the motor. It is not real loud nor can it be felt in the car.
My question: if it is just a gear or two, am I better off
going to a mechanic with the tools and experience or should
I be better of just buying a new diff. while trading in the
core? Is there a dependable supply of "used" or rebuilt
ones?
My mech is a good man, will not tackle something beyond his
tools or experience so I will have to go "commercial" on
this one.
