I had just my whole unit replaced too, but I havn't had any problems since
I put in Mobil 1 diff fluid the day after I got the car back and have been easy on it for about 700k miles before I even really
gave it a decent amount of throttle. The unit they put it may have been put together with a bad backlash
setting causing it blow? possibly?

well like I said it sounds completly diffrent than before, its kinda like grinding gears, whenever im trying to move my car.
Its sounds like when you would try to change gear without using clutch(Im sure its not a clutch issue).

Check your inner CV joints...mine blow about a month ago...jack the car up and turn your half shafts on either side, this will let you know if it was the CV joint that blew....if it was, it's only like 300 to repair.-Rob

On friday, I was racing, and now I have a ticking noise. My car still drives and I'm taking it to Honda on Monday. Theymust hate me there. I have 600 mi. left of warranty, and I have gotten a new soft top, new injectors, new top latch, and now this. It kinda sounds like a baseball card hitting the spokes on a bike. Some one suggested it wasjust the wheel bearing on the rear tire. I hope it'snot the Dif.
