who slapped you in the face mo...

 

[rob323]

, Dave check your front CV shafts as well, I've heard of them failing (rob323 - front driver's side??).

Nope wasn't me, I baby my machine too much for that to happen .

 

[MDK87]

As if you do Rob! haha
Nah I don't mean it's happened to you, but I remember you offering this advice to someone somewhere along the line.

Oh I was talking to Mattrat same time I was talking to you Craig. He just made me realise what I was saying about the broken rear shaft causing no drive wouldn't happen due to the viscous coupling.
But like you said earlier, if the viscous or the centre diff have shat themselves, then it could be true, but highly unlikely that the diff and shaft would break at the same time.

EDIT: Sorry Dave I'm muttering to myself here, I'd either take your gearbox apart and see what's going on inside, or if you don't feel confident / lack tools or whatever, take it to Dave p) at the Gearbox Shop in Slacks Ck and say that Mahommad sent you.

look ill take it apart and put some photo's up but u reckon it mite be something else? I hope not

 

[MDK87]

Yeah, just be careful pulling it apart too hey, some little bits and pieces in there like to roll out and hide away never to be found again.

 

[rob323]

Was it a selectable FWD/ AWD gearbox?
Did it rattle when you pulled it out (a sure sign of broken teeth moving around inside)?
If the VCU is shagged, and the right angle drive or rear drive shaft sheared, then you would go nowhere.

And for all those little bits that roll away when you pull it, I'm sure between Mo and I, we have enough busted boxes to rape for parts.

 

[cruzclub07]

well its not my g/box my drivers side rear driveshaft was the problem all along. All that trouble pulling the gbox out for nothing

 

[brisvr4]

At least you can throw in a new clutch now

 

[GVR40]

my disc will be coming out on friday if mohammed wants to come and help pull the box off...

my clutch should be still alrite you reckon?

 

[GVR40]

it looked ok, will have a proper look when i bring that driveshaft around tomorrow night

 

[MDK87]

Pressure plate is alright, but I'd put a new clutch disc in if I were you Dave. Might be able to come round Friday arvo Craig. Let us know if that suits you.

 

[GVR40]

had a look at that disc tonight, looked like it had a lot of meat left on it.

 

[MDK87]

It's got a bit. Remember, he's sticking a T4 onto it as well though. OEM Evo3 clutch discs are good, but I dunno if they're capable of holding that much poke?

 

[GVR40]

nah, he wants to go b16g

 

[VR-4Squid]

If you've got the coin, get an exedy 5-puck ceramic job and put it in. If not, just drop that one back in until you have got the coin.

Considering a standard evo 3 came with around 200kw and a b16g, why wouldn't a standard evo 3 clutch be up for it?

my clutch should be still alrite you reckon?

Grab the friction plate and give it a shake, if the springs rattle at all, replace it, especially if planning on doing more 7g launches.

 

[cruzclub07]

Took off the shaft and its snapped right inside the diff. I think i might need your help Craig!

 

[GVR40]

what time are you home on wednesday, i could probably spare you a couple of hours then

 

[MDK87]

I thought he was sticking that mean looking T4 turbo onto it Rob.
