3rd gear knock Updated 6-5-12

[Kevin - Illinois]

This weekend I worked with the stethoscope with the rear wheels off the ground and rear end connected...found the following...

Knock is not detected at the differential, torque tube, u-joint, transmission or clutch housing with the car in reverse, first or second gear

Knock is there and very loud in 3rd gear at the rear end, torque tube, and u-joint. It's loud but not "as loud" at the transmission and clutch housing.

So today I pulled the rear end, disconnected the u-joint and ran it. Attached is the video. You can hear a rattle in second and 3rd gears. Not sure if it's the same one since it's in two gears, and it does not go away when the clutch is pushed in...
