i took a friend of mine for a ride last night to let him feel the H power anyway...

here is the carnage

when i pulled the axle this is what i found...


the diff with the phantom grip still installed but turned sideways


the problem starter...


pieces....


the money shot


i honestly believe that the phantom grip caused most of the problems....
the pin was definetly worn right around where the phantom grip is...
although first gen b-series trannies are notorious for breaking the diff pin with more than 200 whp

Yeah. That's a tough one. Hard to tell if it was just tranny failure or phantom grip. The damage in the tranny looks identical to what happened to me though.

thats what i figured yours looked like

i think i found an ls tranny that i can pick up tomorrow morning for cheap... i dont really want the ls but i need the car asap to get to work...

to you for wanting to wait until you have money for this kinda unexpected ****

 

most likely the phantom grip was installed incorrectly u need to reshim the diff shims when you place a diff lock in, looks like your spider gears took a **** from too much stress and dropped the diff allmost out the case!

how long was the diff lock used?

Good diffs
Quaife #1
or for budgets use an obx! using your orginal diff shims!

 

it was in for over a year

 

The benefits of "Phantom Grips" Heck...at least you got a year out of it!

original shims....hhhmmm OBX has the worst clearancing issues(inconsistent)...I have yet to use the original shims on any install....main reason why we do not do install them anymore...even if supplied by a customer... aside from their other issues which have been covered time and time again.

Time for a QUAIFE!!!

 

hmm a semi locker on a FF car BRILLANT!!!

phantom slip
sometimes grip

I can keep going

That won't matter. And you put it in during the summer didn't you? It's only been like half a year.

 

holy ****! look at the wear on that diff pin! i bet that bitch clunked like hell when you let the clutch out

 

^^^ Yeah. When I was trying to nurse my car home the one time after blowing the diff at the track. I drove it down the road to a place I knew... and the whole time I had the wheel cranked left but it was still pushing right a little. Never had steering wheel pressure like that before.
