are these signs of a failing tranny or rearend?
ok when im crusin along espically at lower speeds and i let off the gas about 1-2 secconds later a howuling noise simlar to the noise of mud trannine tires starts but if i even remotely tap the gas it immedately goes away my intial suspision was the rearend was going but since it only happens when the car is coasting nto when its accelrating im thinkin more along the lines of the tranny...also it dicipates with speed.. by this i mean at 10mph its a good deal louder than at 70 mph also changing gears seems to effect the noise though it is more previlant in 4 3 than 2 and one my car has 17k miles on it but had been street raced or at least agressively driven a couple times a week hell sometimes a coulpe times a day (ALOT)
thanks,
john

I had a similar problem about 5 years ago. The pinion nut was backing off, for some reason. I would get on it and the noise went away, then let off and it howled. I kept doing that while driving down the highway. Until it got worse, then the pinion caught the chunk. The gears, chunk, housing was ruined and the rearend locked up, broke the drive shaft. It hit the transmission and broke the transmission case and drive shaft was ruined. Costed me some big bucks. But thats the only time I had a rearend make that kind of noise.

I just had the same thing fixed it is a carrier bearing in your rear going bad. It is going to put you back a couple hundred getting it fixed but do it quikc because they told me it was about to cause my whole rear to go.
