Play in prop shaft (diff end)

[phill 92]

I just got my clutch done! turned out I had a paddle clutch with a standard clutch cover, apparently you get no benefits if you use a paddle clutch with the standard cover, has anyone ever heard this before?

Anyway whilst the car was in the air I was trying to find the source of some knocking I've been hearing lately, I checked the exhaust as it sounded like the exhaust wasn't hung properly and it was banging about but it was rock solid. So I asked my mate who's workshop I was at and he went straight over to my diff where the end of the prop was still attached and wriggled it about with a quite a lot of play, he said the diff is really worn!

So now I'm saving for another LSD, I was told by the person I bought it off of that its a TRD 2 way however I have no evidence of this! its definitely a handful in the wet and locks really well! I've got a few hundred quid saved away as I think you should when having a car of this age! so now I'm looking at my options? I was thinking of taking it off the road and getting the diff out to try identify it and then decide whether a rebuild is on the cards or a whole new diff, what's your thoughts? any idea's?

Cheers.
