Hmm... mine is just the opposite. It has a slight whine at slow speed, usually before it's warmed up, when I initially take off. After that, it's quiet as can be. Do you think it might be a good idea to reset the torque? It hasn't been driven much at all since I worked in this area.(less than 200 mi.)

The electronic speedometer is tuned from the instrument cluster end. I'm thinking the speedometer from your 300SE would solve the accuracy problem. It certainly is a very easy swap out to verify if it works.

That's exactly what I'm going to try. I might feel a little guilty having a 300K engine and an odometer reading 87 thousand but if I get an accurate speed reading I'll get over it.

Hmmm that's difficult to judge.

You could try to do it again but it might not make much of a difference.

I think it is probably best to leave it as it is now. If it gets worse then I guess you'd better do something about it.

You could try an oil change - but (as you stand a chance of losing all that saw dust!) this might make things worse.

You might want to start looking for a replacement differential if you have the storage (and you'll be keeping the car). I tend to find better deals when I don't really really need a replacement part.
