Default Who has chipped a tooth / broke a set of gears

Have a LOUD, repeated clunk only under accel, under decel or steady cruise it doesnt do it.

Coming from the rear end, several people think its a broken tooth, gonna pull it apart to verify before I order a set of gears.

On the same note, does ANYONE make a 3.90 gear for the damn 10 bolt? Cant find any

Motives are good gears I would not hesitate to run them. I once chewed the teeth down on a set of Motive 3.73's and the damn thing sounded like a fire engine when I made turns. That was due to a major installation error however, not the gears themself.

I think the guy who put in my gears didn't install them correctly also. Mine is quite loud with whining especially from 40-55mph..
