What are some possible avenues to check if the rear dif fluid is full on my car. As ive mentioned before i have this humm comming from the car. It only really seems to come up when i get above 20mph. Could i have some worn parts on the driveshaft or bushings.

 

Also my car is a dog latelly, how can i possibly check to see if the car has jumped time at all.

 

Thanks

With the car on a level surface, pull the filler plug (on the rear cover) and check that the gear oil is to the bottom of the filler hole. If you can't feel any fluid with your finger then you need to add some till it just tops the bottom of the fill plug threads.

 

As for the timing - check the valve timing by removing the outer belt cover and then lining up the middle of the three valve timing marks on the flywheel with the arrow on the timing window. Then you check that one cam mark is straight up and the other is straight down.

 

Ignition timing you will need a timing light to accurately verify. It should be 20* BTDC with the green diagnostic plugs connected.

Ok removed the rear plug (which really really really really really sucked). Full of diff fluid everything is okeydokey in that aspect. But i found something else. Check other thread.
