Re: Clutch Noise and Gearing Question..
1st off if its your clutch you would be hearing it in all gears., it sounds like a little gear whine, take it to a good reputable transmission shop and they most likely will tell you the same...always get a second opinion.
to replace the 'rear axle seals' is nothing more than, jacking up your rear end and putting it on jack stands, pulling your diff cover off to drain the fluid , remove the rear tires, calipers and rotors and remove the four (?) bolts holding the axle on through the hole in the axle bolt plate, and pull the axles out of the way. you can now see the rear axle seals and with a screw driver you can pop them off and with a soft rubber hammer tap the new ones on.
Assemble in the reverse order, don't worry there is no clocking of the axle shafts. I do believe its 20lbs torque on the diff cover bolts not sure but your local auto parts store can tell you if there is a torque on axle retainer shaft bolts.
Bad news here but I do believe that going from 3:73 to 4:10 also requires that you change carriers as well adding to the cost of thart gear change.
