my car was making a very similar clicking noise when coming up to a stop with the clutch pressed or in nuetral (no load on rear) and a couple weeks later it started making tons of noise it turns out i broke a tooth off the pinion and the next three teeth in a row were cracked and ready to go, when i had the ring and pinion replaced

i guess 300 at the wheels is plenty enough to break a stock pinion with street tires (never had wheel hop problems either) bfg's kdw's by the way
