Default Possible rear end problem

Hi all, Let me start out by saying I am thankful for forums that are directed at cars we love. I have a question that hopefully has a nice answer. I changed my differential fluid about a month ago. Ever since then, when comming to a stop or backing up, While the clutch is to the floor and the car is coasting between 1 and 5 mph I hear a Clunk Clunk Clunk sound. It seems to be comming from the rear of the car and the time between Clunks is related to how fast the vehical is moving. it doesn't happen EVERY time but often enough to be a concern. My baby is only 9 months old and has about 8300 miles one her. She has never been to the tracks or had any hard launches. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Yep, add the limited slip additive according to the SLP manual (2oz). Used Quaker State 80W-90 Mineral based oil. Is the 2oz that SLP recommends not enough? Should I try adding more?.
Or maybe your right, maybe she just needs to be spanked like the bad B**ch she is <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Thanks for the advice <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

no the additive was one that was recommended by buddy of mine. I think I might drain and refill the diff tomorrow and use the GM stuff to see if that kills the <img border="0" alt="[guns]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" /> problem .
