[TR] [6pack] Rear end clunk

[Greg Lemon]

I chased after a "rear end" clunk for years.  Decided it was in the
differential, and decided to replace it with a Nissan R200 limited slip
after replacing u-joints and checking mounts many times.  When I was
installing the differential and new, shortened drive shaft I discovered one
of the transmission mount bolts had gone missing.

If you are not finding it, may be worth expanding your search, however, the
only when cold thing is a bit of a head scratcher.

BTW, very glad I did the diff swap, even though it was not the cause of the
clunk, car is much quieter, especially  with the top up.
