just put mine in last week and it tends to whir / whine at little bit on the street, not under power really, just cruising. it doesnt sound bad and there is no metal in my tranny.
thanks
burke

 

did you check the clearance on your beaings or did you just put it in

 

i shimmed it correctly

 

did you use another ring gear with your same counter shaft?

 

never had any problems like that.
sounds like maybe a damaged bearing.
Chris

 

hmmm, same ring gear and new bearings albiet they are not oem honda and i had to use 2 shims to get the proper clearance. im driving 200 miles to detroit tomorrow so wish me luck

did you put the shims on the proper sidwe of the diff.if they're on the wrong side,ithink the ring gear may contact the case.
also,needle bearings or sealed ball bearings for the diff carriers?
Chris

 

I would say
1 the bearings could have been damaged when they were pressed on
2 I would use OEM bearings but thats just me

 

hmm maybe the bearings, they were sealed and i took off the seals. oh well to detroit i go! interview with Roush!!
oh i think may have jacked up my speedo gear. i kinda just knocked it off

 

its nothing. I know they arent the same but they are similar, but my quaife has always whined and i asked quaife and they said it was normal and they have lifetime warranties soo.....i dont think you have any issues there.

 

i made it there and back! phew!! no problems, just still whining when under light load. oh well, im gonna run it till something blows

Chris
