I am not sure what the problem is, but I have a 95 z28 and anytime I give a bit too much off the line I feel it grind a bit in the rear and it sounds like it is on the right side. It makes a sound like gears are stripping but I am not really sure what it is. I t only happens when it seems the rear end is getting too much torque.

 

M6 or A4 ? it sounds like it could be your gears but you wont know unless you take the rear cover off and check it out.

 

Sounds like a stripped axle (splines) to me.

 

How can I tell and what do I need to do if it is, replace the entire axle?

 

It's an A4, will that make a major difference?

 

Just wondering because Manual trasmissions are more prone to making grinding noises that autos.

 

You can pull the axle out and look at it.................sorry that's the only way I know how to do it.

 

err its in my book at school and we just spend 8 hours on this today, tomorrow i'll hit ya up b/c they gave us a diagnostics chart with what sound where could be what. sorrry i can't do it tonight but i'm feeling a little sick and i have to get up 5:30am tomorrow for school.

 

thanks for any info you might have
