I went to a wedding over the weekend and had to back uphill into a spot. When I was backing up it had kind of a slipping/clunking/jumping feeling/noise and wouldn't go backwards. I was on pavement and the tires weren't spinning. I let off the gas and tried again and it did it again. I wasn't pressing the gas hard. It finally went. You think this is something with the tranny or rear end? Tranny has always shifted fine and still does. Any help is appreciated!

do you know if you have the limited slip differential?
 






No I don't. Can I look at the housing and tell? Or is there some other way to tell?
 












I'll check when I get home from work! Any certain code I need to look for?
 






Axle Code 45 — 3.55 non-limited slip
 






Anyone have any ideas?
