okay 1st you are going to have to get it up into the air to find out where the noise is coming from. Gonna have to narrow it down because it's obviously with the driveline. Do you know where you feel the clunking at or where do you think you hear it? This is what a broken pinion sounds like

I am having the same prob in my m6. Same thing loud clunk when I shift and when I let off the gas to decelerate. It sounds like the rear end is falling apart. But with acceleration no noise. What gives. On my way right now to get a gasket to look inside the rearend.

Well I figured mine out. About a month ago I replaced my pinion seal. when I tightened my pinion nut I did not tighten it enough and it backed out on me leaving the yolk and the gear attatched to it loose. When accelerating the way the teeth of the gears are designed pushed that part snug but without pressure on (when letting off the gas or shifting) the teeth from the gear that the yolk goes on were eating up the other one. Sorry don't know the names just know what it looks like lol.

Yeah I know, I can't afford one right now. I looked at the teeth on the pinion gear, they have a little wear. Thankfully I caught it in time. Now that I tightened it up it works fine but I think I need a new pinion nut. Someone told me it is supposed to be a lock nut and mine isn't tight. I also heard I should put around 450 ft/lbs on it so I think ill get a new nut and put some more *** into it. But it works for now. I've already priced a moser 9" and will start saving lol.
