No more phantom grips for me.....

JB weld works wonders on aluminum casings like that. I had to patch my diff housing on my tranny.

This was a big problem on mini vans in the early 90s, when they switched from a diff with gear oil in a seperate chamber to being lubricated with the trans oil. If you spin one wheel a lot (especially when on ice) the ATF gets flung off. Gear oil was better at sticking. Or so I have been told.

In the SHO world the PG is a garanteed MTX explosion. Its a huge NO-NO.

Our only options are the quaife (discontinued) or now the wavetrac which is a quaife but better.

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.

I thought about tig welding a patch over it, but i have yet another spare KL trans that the internals are bad, so i'll probably just switch the guts over to the next case and not bother patching this one

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

Did the rollpin fail?

Yup, you guessed right :lol: sheared the roll pin and worked its way out of the diff lol

Will the turbo fit ?

[Nerd Racing]

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.

: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

My hats off to you chris

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