[QUOTE="xtreme_exploder, post: 15112341, member: 153138"] If the gears were quiet, you can probably get away with just re-shimming the gears. Try shimming the crown first like you said and check the gear pattern. If it's good, send it. Personally I hate the crush sleeves and have seen them fail. They make a solid spacer/shim setup to replace it (if you end up messing with the pinion). As a bonus, it allows you to take things apart and reassemble without replacing the sleeve too. Might as well replace the clutch packs if you're in there; its easy and fairly inexpensive. My car had 60k on it when I bought it. The gears whined like crazy and the oil was extremely black and sludgy and just nasty when I took it apart. I imagine it was bad since 30k judging by how horrible everything was, so I don't think your case is unusual. Seems like these cars need fairly frequent diff oil changes with the heat and abuse our diffs take. Yours was probably never touched. [/QUOTE]
