[Healeys] Noisy rear end/driveshaft

[Jonas Payne]

I have been experiencing a "clonk" when taking off from a start in
reverse and 1st gear.

When under load, I experience no noise, but when coasting, I'm getting a
groaning/clicking sound from under the car.

I jacked up the car, and the drive shaft is fine, but I can rotate the
driveshaft back and forth about 5 degrees before I hear a click from
inside the diff and it "engages".  This seems excessive to me.  But what
should the tolerance be?

Haven't checked the oil level yet.....
