Hey guys, First time really venturing out of the diecast section here.
Ive been having a noise coming from my drivetrain that happens when torque from the engine is engaged and disengaged via the clutch. It resonates from the rear end of the car as if the diff has severe backlash. I checked the axle and it appeared to be fine. So i tried turning the driveshaft with the ebrake pulled, and i heard the exact knocking noise. Through all my searching, no one has described a similar problem so I have not been able to get a clear answer, but I found a video with someone having the same problem.

Now my real question is, is this basically a backlash issue requiring the diff to be R&Red? Or could it be something else?
THanks!
