Chimaera transmission noise
Discussion
I'm having a weird problem with my 1996 chim. After a run, when coasting up to lights or creeping forward, or just pulling away I get a nasty 'thump thump thump' noise. I can feel it through the car. It only starts doing it after a run of 15 or so miles.
It feels like something binding, like the brakes, however they aren't smoking or smelling, so don't think it's that. There's no other noise. Could this be a propshaft joint? Don't understand why that should get worse when hot though.
Any suggestions or anyone had this? Thanks
Edit: it does it in a straight line, so don't think it's the limited slip diff binding.

CV joints arrived, and I intend to do them this weekend, although the more I think about it, the more I convince myself it's the diff that's expired. Anyway, I'll do the cheapest things first.
Quick question: I don't have any bearing pullers, are the joint an interference fit on the splines? Will I be able to beat them on and off with knackered socket and a hammer?
