Re: Drivetrain clunk
Hi
There are 2 types of hypoid oil GL4 and GL5. Make sure the one you put in your diff is GL4.
GL5 contains additives that will destroy any brass or copper components such as the cup washers used in the MGB diff.
I also had an annoying clunk from diff. As you have,I went through the standard process of changing the brass and fibre washers with no effect. Turned out to be the hub nut was not tightened to the correct torque setting (150 Lb Ft)
