Default is there a way to drive on either front or rear diff..

i am still trying to find out what is wrong with my car which started the morning after someone else drove my car. the first oopinion was that lightweight fly was damaged. now the 2nd opinion is that the rear diff is hurt only because most of the slip feel/clunk is coming from the rear of the car and i was wondering if you could determine if it is the front or rear diff. i am doing all that is possible to get around pulling the trans again. the problem is when you engauge the clutch and start to gas the car right b4 it is hooked in gear it has a slipping clutch feel as if it stutters then engages. full pedal the thing is fine and does not slip. the new clutch and fly are a year old this month. the problem also happens as you let the clutch out to down shift. if you over rev the shift it does not happen.... please shed some insight b4 i do the darn clutch removal again... new trans jack is in the mail just in case. thanks, andrew
