It was about as fun as sitting in steal saving money for 6 months can be haha.

 

Nice. Can't wait to see what you will spend your hard earned deployment money on!
I'll come by the shop on Monday if you are there. You on first or second pom?

 

Ok guys, I went to the track down in Hertford on Friday night and made a few passes and got the clutch pedal dialed in pretty good. Unfortunately on my last pass i 2 stepped and dumped the clutch too hard instead of slipping it like i should have and got some crazy wheel hop before i felt something break. I trailered it home and put in on jackstands yesterday, found a broken axle and replaced it but still have a horrible clunking when you go to accelerate, though if you ease into the clutch to get moving really slowly it won't do it. I changed out both the fluid in the tranny and the Tcase but i didn't see any major chunks or shavings. Anyone ever seen anything like this before and have any tips on diagnosing, a few buddies say the Tcase most likely, but i need to be sure and find a way to get it replaced. Thanks for any help.

 

maybe the diff??

 

sounds like the front diff inside the tcase to me. I had a similar problem once.

 

can you tell by pulling the tcase off?

 

You can take off the side and pull out the carrier housing. Open up the carrier housing and the front diff is in there. There is a good how to write up for changing the front diff with pictures and everything. Mine still drove when it was bad. I heard a clunk a couple of times and I could feel the car pull to one side then it would shift and start to pull to the other side. Hope this helps.

 

I appreciate it i am looking into jackstransmissions to maybe do a performance rebuild on the tranny and the tcase so i guess ill have to see.

 

That sucks... hopefully you get it back together soon...

I guess Mikey is right, Virginia Beach is cursed... one car comes up, or gets close to being up, and another one or two have to go down....

 

I need 1 single ECU pin ( a small one NOT a big one). Does anybody in the area have one?

 

Yeah i hear you on that i have been making pretty good progress with it in the last few months. But i learned a valuable lesson that is for sure, i am supposed to have all aspects drill and bung my DP for my wideband thursday hoping i can be up by then the get that done.

 

mark where you want it and take it to them off the car
