you just got the clutch? how many miles have you put on it?

**M-Rod** · 07-30-2011, 06:45 PM

I think Keith and jigz had that problem. iirc it was the diff :-/

I'll let them chime in since mine gave no warning, it just shattered.

the diff is done in the tranny. dont use it anymore, if you blow the diff out of the tranny the whole tranny will be junk.

LSD TIME!!! mn

Differential for sure. Blew on my g awhile back and had to swap tranny's. It makes a clicking sound/feel when turning hard in one direction or the other.

Sorry to hear, but I think you've got a month left until it goes. Look into an lsd as soon as possible.

so are diff expensive and is it hard to replace?

i believe goosey is selling his old quaife lsd with the bearing/ gears already pressed in. otherwise it would be around 1k for just the diff (new) and you would have to get the bearings from the dealer and remove your gears and unless you have the right tools you have to take it to a shop to be pressed on. there is a tutorial on c3g as to how to replace it. it is kind of a pain in the ass

seems like the diff is done as said before, just saying but on the very first run y didnt u take it easy and get a feel for it? the track is so different than the street it terms of grip and takes getting used to and if u dumped the clutch too fast the diff exploded that easy. your a v6 right? good luck finding another tranny.

i did take it easy i launch at 3grand i didnt think that was much

When you say you launched at 3k, did you just hold it at 3k and just side step the clutch and dump it? You have to understand that the stock diff is a POS and it went from not moving at all full power in an instant, thats what breaks shit. The idea is to launch at around 4500 rpm and slip the clutch a little bit until the car barely starts to move, then let it go completely.
