Spider gears ???? (11.19.13)

Ugh car problems again. This time my car is making all kinds of weird noises. When I push on the clutch there is a knocking noise. When I speed up there is a loud whining noise. So I took my car back to the shop. My main concern was the clutch because I just had it replaced again. It seems that was not to be the biggest concern I had. The differential fluid was chocolate milk again and the high pitched noise was the bearings. They were bad enough to start creating divots.The guys explained it in great detail but unfortunately it sounded a lot like when I do my taxes. I understand the general concept but I get lost in the details. Then he started talking about spider gears and I thought maybe he was just making stuff up. I called a friend who lives in Florida who is a mechanic to see if he could at least tell me if I was getting screwed. He said that with what I was telling him it sounded like they were telling me the truth. I ended up spending way more than I wanted to, the sound in my clutch never got fixed but so far its seems the rest of the stuff was fixed.
