UPDATE: 6/7/07

Final diagnosis: Tooth of the 4.57 gear pinion broke off. The LSD is FINE.

Guess we know what the real WEAKEST LINK IS.


The dealership thought it was the diff making the noise, recommended replacement at a cost of $3000. The good members of s2ki.com are suggesting that it may be axle nut / hub / bearing. Then they speculated that it might be the stock LSD and not the gears.... nope!

I bought a used S2k diff for $330... it's installed and working great.
For good measure, also had hubs changed and CV joints swapped.

 

Ouch. Broken on a launch?

 

You know, this thread is useless without additional information.

So you drove like a granny for 17k miles, only on sunday and it just stopped working.

Thanks for sharing NOTHING.

 

pending final diagnosis

 

my 4.77 from HTG only lasted 10 laps on the track

 

I would be interested in what happened too if you don't mind posting on the public forum.
I'm considering getting a spare diff of ebay, and exchanging it for a Comptech unit.

 

why even post this if you are going to leave out the juicy stuff........

come on tell us!!!

 

err!

 

Im wondering if you broke it in correctly and did fluid changes on time.

 

if that question is to me, yes to both questions.
