Driveshaft/Tranny
Arrrrgh! I just started getting the infamous metallic grind when I let the gas off. Its an EXTREMELY loud scraping/grinding noise thats primarily between 2500 and 3500 rpm. I have the stock flywheel/clutch. Tranny fluid is full and clean, rear diff fluid is also less than a month old and full (Both are Valvoline 75w-90 GL-5 non-synth). It sounds like its coming right under where the rear passenger puts their feet. I'm guessing its the U-joints, pinion gear, center diff, or rear diff. I would rather take my car somewhere other than the dealer as I have 65K and am out of warranty . Any recommendations? Goodspeed or anywhere else on the east side? And does anyone have a ballpark as to cost? Thanks in advance.

OK, after removing the diff protector, unbolting and re-attaching the exhaust, and playing with the rear tire pressure nearly of the noise has gone away. There were some scrape marks on the driveshaft in a few spots from the exhaust and also around the diff protector. The only sound that remains is a chirping noise when I let off the throttle once in a while. But that seems normal.
