Has the differential fluid been checked or changed?

Can I check the front disc visually without the car being on a lift?
It seems to stick or grind a bit when starting in first gear from a stop. I noticed the rpms go up till it seems to snap in to place. The clunk sound seems to come from the rear though. Maybe they are not directly related? I couldnt tell if there was anything wrong with the rear disk visually by sliding under the car. Isnt there some sort of drive shaft bearing? Could that be the cause?
The front disk was changed aroound 50k miles ago. The tranny fluid and filter around 40k miles ago.
If the car seems to drive ok when not starting off in 1st gear from a complete stop would it be crazy to drive it 10-15 miles to a mechanic?
