Rear Differential
I noticed this morning that my GTU seems to be a little sluggish, she acts as if the rear end is being held by the brakes when taking off from a stop.
Took her home, and removed the rear wheels to check the brakes and they seem fine, I wonder about the rear Diff, I have not heard any abnormal noises or anything like that, so I'm not sure if that could be it.
Any ideas/suggestions

Wheels off and up, n neutral...no noise, but the wheels/ rotors turn with some resistance/drag...
Anyway to check the Trailing coil, and won't that cause idle problems?

If you feel it's in the rear, pull the calipers off, easy check, and make certain pistons are not sticking and holding the pads against the rotor. That will resolve the brake issue. You can usually tell if the car is on a very, very, slight grade. It will roll with the clutch in. If the pistons are sticking, sometimes you won't get that little roll.

Pulled Brakes, checked calipers, seemed OK.
Changed Oil in Rear Diff just in case.
Put everyything back together, seems ok, but this is bothering me....
Any other thoughts anyone?

I took it out yesterday, and it seems that the rear brakes are clamping down, and not releasing properly. I have to check the manual to see how to adjust the e-brake.
my next thought is to replace the rear calipers/rotors/pads.
Any other thoughts??
