They pulled out the gear box today and let me know that the rear CV boots are cracking. The axle's are fine thank God so they're just going to put new boots on and repack all of the grease. I'm very lucky that the car went in when it did. I'd hate to think what the price on two new axle's would be.

The RMS and AOS are being done as well, even thought they're both still good, and they said that the clutch disc is still good. He still says that I should replace the clutch just because the gear box is already out. I told him that I didn't want to spend an additional 1300 bucks right now. I only put 4-5K miles a year on and doubt that the clutch will be going south anytime soon.
