I've had the circlip that retains the thrust race come partially out. The symptoms were as follows... Diff started slipping, tightend it, still slipping, tried a bit more, still slipping (diff action was rubbish at this point) a little bit tighter and it seemed to stop slipping, but diff action was really tight. When I had chance to take it appart, that's when I found the problem. It appeared that the circlip had been compressed too much to slip it inside the outdrive and therefore it didn't seat very well in the intended groove. When I rebuilt it properly, all was smooth, but the head soon popped off the diff screw... A couple of races maybe.
