Subject: <VV> Bad Noises!!

I'm calling on the differential experts for a little remote trouble
shooting.  While happily driving my '66 Turbovert, I noticed some weird
noises coming from the rear end (I think).  I was parked and when I tried to
back up, there were a couple of loud bang-clank sounds accompanied by a
kinda lurch or jerk.  I pulled back into the parking place and took a quick
peek under the back, checking half-shafts etc.  Everything looked ok.  I
decided to try driving home, nothing unusual occurred, engine good, trans
good and no more weirdness.  As I pulled into our driveway, I had a bit of
coast and then power, in other words a bit of slack followed by power and
there was another clang and you could feel a kind of "hit".  I feels sort of
like something is stripped, slips and then catches again.  I'll do a more
complete look-see tomorrow in daylight. Any ideas?

Thanks in Advance.

Jim B.
