ask any decent mechanic and they will say that gears are extremely tricky to set up correctly. you mess up either way and you will have problems, they have to be perfect. and if they are new gears, you probably shouldnt have been romping on your car, they need at least 200 miles break in, and then change the fluid check/reset if necessary.

i work in a body shop and i never weld or even cut with a battery hooked up

i really like how they warned me of that. and no the body shop didnt do the rear end work, he has a guy come in from another shop intown that does that. just lately i have been not impressed at all with the shops work.

Don't you just hate it when a bad apples give all the rest of the good mechanics like yourself a black eye! Liked the part about welding them "sumbitches" right in. LOL

Yeah rear ends are touchy. Thank god they dont take too long though, thats the good part. And if you have done a few they get easier. Im just not sure what you meant when you said you pushed in the clutch and youre rear end stopped making noise?

Are you sure it's the rear end?
If you push the clutch in and the sound goes away,sounds like the throw out bearing to me.Anyone?
