Pinion bearing was ****ed, they replaced it. Everything else looked OK. They put back in my UMI torque arm and xmember as well.

I called him for an update. He told me that then he said they are buttoning it up and he'd test drive it then call me back :shock:

I gotta think that if the pinion bearing was FUBAR, it didn't do the pinion *or* ring gear any favors. Also, how much metal did it dump in the rest of the bearings?

LS1ow 10-21-2019 07:45 AM

have you thought of just welding the diff and adding a hydro brake?

He said ring and pinion themselves were OK. We shall see....

It would sound pretty cool on decels at least .

8-)

ThoR294 10-24-2019 01:26 PM

Car is done. Picking it up around 430. We shall see what happens....

Profab chassis called me back, he said he did research and he is blaming the transmission. Apparently a common issue with t56s? Something about one of the shafts getting too much play in them

LTb1ow 10-24-2019 04:50 PM

And?

I have a good used clutch you can have

LTb1ow 10-25-2019 04:07 PM

After all this you weren't anxious to get the car back?

#confused

sweetbmxrider 10-25-2019 05:43 PM

Might as well throw the 385 in there while the trans is out

ThoR294 10-25-2019 07:04 PM

Driving it home now. Exhaust don't feel right up front lol. Vibration is still there but it's definitely not as bad as before. It's gotten better. The rear is pretty loud on decel in neutral especially around 30-35

ThoR294 10-28-2019 04:22 PM

about to just give up on the car lol headache after headache. id have to spend a lot to fix the damn trans and still have to gamble on the rear. I think it's toast and don't really feel like going back to Corbos again.

LTb1ow 10-28-2019 05:31 PM

I will sell you a quiet S60 with DS for 3k
