Any recommendations with repair or replace the Rear differential,
or is it worth it to fix?

Thanks

Depends what's wrong with it. I just checked car-part.com and WHOAH is a 323 diff way more expensive than is has any right to be. 335 and 328 diffs starting at $250/$150 with a lot of options. The cheapest 323 AT is $650 and MT $1050.

What's wrong with it?

Hey Nick, Thank you for looking into it, there's a grinding noise coming from the rear diff, less of a grind when you speed up, initially thought it was the rear bearings however the mechanic i took it to identified it.
