so on the freeway, in 5th grear, around freeway speeds, off the gas peddal, then tap the peddal semi agressive to accelerate and i hear a clunk from the rear end...

could it be gap between worn ring n pinion?

could it be u joint?

opionins appreciated

pinion crush sleeve has collapsed most likely.

my old 4.30 geared SRA however wore the spines on the axles enough to cause a similar clunk between shifts and on/off the gas.

thanks for the response blind i appreciate it.

just curious if this was a common thing to happen in foxbodys? (or maybe just the 5speed ones)?

mines the original 8.8 rear end w/ 92k btw and nothing inside it has ever been replaced, pretty sure diff cover has never even been taken off..
