I took apart my tranny to put my new Phantom Grip in. After I spent an hour taking apart the tranny and pulling the differential out, the Phantom grip will not fit. It is machined wrong, and won't let the pinion shaft in the differential pass through it!

I am getting a refund for the POS.

What is really making me angry is that I accidently slipped with the ball peen hammer when hastily reassembling the diff and made a very small chip in the VSS gear. At least I think that is what the gear is. The chip is about 1mm x 1mm or so, at the top edge of the gear.

Think it will cause any problems with the functioning of the vss? I can't remember the last time I was so pissed off. Should've bought a Quaife.

 

what do you expect for a differential that costs $250? sorry...

 

Huh... well, I never had a problem with mine... but a friend bought a Quaife and tried to put it on his CRX... it came FUCKED UP and he's having to send it back. The bearings ******* slid on by hand. lol. Not what it was supposed to do.

So no 1 company is without problems man. Sorry dude, but even Mercedes has a service department.

 

i still say that its always best to do things right the first time. i wouldve just saved up for a real lsd.

 

Hey Todd, have u ever had any problems with ur Phantom Grip with all the power u were putting to the ground?

 

Not one single issue. No slippage, and I still barked both tires in fourth gear with it.
Not saying that someone else won't ahve problems, but that's probably the only thing left on my car that hasn't fucked up. lol

 

I was planning on getting one when I do my H22 swap in the spring, thanks for the info

 

phantom grip.... wow i hear stories about those babies. well some good one and some bad ones. I personally had one and it works great. never broke on me and i had it over a year already. charles from atomic performance did the job. well i don't know man, lots of people say it depends how put the stuff together. but what can i say i never did one.

 

first off id like to say whats up to everyone here....and secondly i am soo happy with my quaife, just got it, and put it in....such a differnce....i dont think i could handle the phantom, after everyone i talked to was dissapointed with it...so i went with the quaife--nick

 

yeah, but you just read two people who loved it.

I know two people who aren't happy with Quaife right now.

 

The place I bought it from is refunding my money, I am just chalking the situation up to experience.
