T9 noises

[Rettedm]

I get lots of vibration and noise from my T9 when downshifting and letting the engine slow the car. Is this normal ?

Nope.... the inexpensive fix if caught soon could simply be slack bellhousing bolts or propshaft bolts. If the bellhousing is slack it will be difficult to operate the clutch. Listen carefully to see if it is the gearbox or the diff. My standard T9 is quiet and vibration free but the diff makes a few clunks and knocks (needs a rebuild). Also in the past I've had a few clunks from the rear end under deceleration when the center A frame bolt became slack, but no vibration.
