No more phantom grips for me.....

[Damkid]

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

[bhazard]

Dude seriously youre nuts, how the crap do you work so quickly? That would have grounded my car for at least a year.

: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

[FestYboy]

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.

What did I say about those Phantom Grips? Lol.

[walth]

wow. that's insane. nice to see what that pin does...sad to know how much of an issue it causes for everyone.

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

I believe he is getting a quaife type Helical LSD from Mfactory when the $$ is available.

Will the turbo fit ?

[Rocketman]

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

Did the rollpin fail?
