Might check the pinion nut. Will have to unhook the rear driveshaft at the axle to inspect it.
Could be that it is loosened up and pinion is clunking around.

Is it a double like klutchdust has? That is most likely your limited slip making that noise, I have been experiencing that for a long while now and finally got around to pulling the rear diff cover off a few weeks ago and saw the culprit, nothing really wrong with it that I can tell, it's just making noise as the diff and the center unit engage. I put royal purple in and buttoned it up and actually haven't heard it since... I'm not complaining, but I'm gonna run it till it breaks and then put an OX in there!

I was thinking it may be that but its pretty significant clunk, feel it in the shifter its crazy when it pops like that! I also had the infamous tick and an extremely notchy 2nd gear so well see in a week or so

Ok so shes back for now, i was away all week and they didnt hear the clunk so i go back tomorrow to drive it w/ a tranny tech. The ticking they said they solved by just changing the tappets, but to me sounds the same, said chrysler just wanted to change them?! Any thoughts? Thanks again Pinny
