  • No more phantom grips for me.....

    Tuesday night i noticed an oil leak in my festiva, it was dripping from in between the motor and tranny, i figured rear main seal, so when i tore it all apart, this is what i found



    you can see the wear on the diff pin




    As of yesterday morning i got a new tranny installed and so far everything is working good again

    1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)

    If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

              :lol: thursday night i pulled the engine out and seen the damage, that took 2-1/2 hours

              i took my spare diffs to work friday to get it ready for the next trans

              friday i got done work at noon and i spent about 3 hours getting the next tranny together and getting the motor/trans back in the festiva

              Saturday morning i spent another 3 hours finishing up getting it all back together

              I had LOTS of practice pulling the motor so i got fast at it :lol:

              Exactly, i have a girlfriend, my daughter is having her first birthday this friday and my garage is tiny since i live in a trailor park

              This break down did not cost me anything except tranny fluid since i already had spare tranny's laying around

              trust me, if i made more money, my festiva would be turbo'd by now

                you should be able to get that repaired for use again, anyone worth their beans should be able to tig that up good as new.

                      Does Quaife make a diff, if so I would strongly suggest it!

                              The wear on the diff pin looks like galling from too many one-wheel wonders

                              Did the rollpin fail?
