Would the rear diff wind up if you disconnected the propshaft to help pinpoint, Either diff or Gearbox noise ??

In theory the rear wheels would still travel at the same road speed & i don't need to go far to be able to hear the noise

reasonable idea or just plain stupid ??

Thanks

Forget it unless i can seal up the back of the box !! As i forgot the prop does that job & without it , Oil would just be spun out Not a good idea

With mine I got it to a garage, put it up on the 4 post lift and let it idle in gear.

Then you can get under the car and listen with a makeshift stethoscope - namely a big screwdriver!
