There is no "tq spec for the rearend."  What PART of the rear end? Pinion flange? ring gear? carrier bearing cap? see what I mean. Tell us exactly what you're doing when the noise happen. Aside from a broken motor or tranny mount, there is NOTHING that is going to cause a "clicking" noise in a manual tranny that ONLY occurs when the car is put at an angle. As for the rear end, there will always be some backlash....if may look excessive to the naked eye on just the drive shaft but its probably within spec. Check the control arms. Put the car in gear with the ebrake off.....have someone rock the car back and forth and WACTCH the pinion snout for excessive up and down movement or loose bolts on the control arms. Also when does the "clunk" occur? When you start to release the clutch? Or is it when you actually SLIP the shifter into first gear? If its when you slip it it, you porbably need to look into a clutch adjustment....I.e. its not disengaging completely and when you put it in gear, it shocks the driveshaft for a second. THAT is your most likely scenario...</blockquote>
