broken rearend
 

ok heres how it went, A buddy of mine and me were cruzzin around the rewoods becasue I got my car out of the shop a week ago, well I wanted to do a couple power brakes sooo I did... :D On my 3rd pass when I dropped the clutch at about 3 grand the car like made a really loud bangg sound then it wouldnt go forward at all??? so I go to back it up and it rolls for like 5 feet and stops like it hit something and thats as fas as it would go.. hmmmm call a tow truck :( took it to the shop again after I just got it out after it was there for a month.. anyways I went down there this morning with my dad and the yoke cover was off of the rearend and the guy shows us with a light that the limit slit is tore out and 3rd memmber?? or soemthing is broken and maybe the axles too also a couple of the little gears teeth are missing :banghead: :vomit:

so I guess they are going to look up a total rehaul on the rearend.
and how much it would cost for a new one out of a crashed z28 . :( :(

jsut go all out and get a 12 bolt.lol, it will be worth it if u plan any good mods

that's what happens when you power brake(which really show nothing since a 3 cylinder geo could do it if rwd)

ouch.

Next time just punch it

where can i go to find a new rear end package or even a used rear end??? the gm dealor says it will cost 2 g's for them to do it what do all of you htink ???

might as well spend the same and upgrade...http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/in...l?v=1&pid=6609

still around 2 grand, or call jegs and get just the carrier and upgrade axles (the replacement rear ends will eliminate the junk c clips)

hmm well how long does it take to swap rear ends?? becasue im payin for them to do it and its by the hour???? does a 12 bolth hurt the engine in any way? and can you brake anything along the tranny line with a 12 bolt???

not really hurt anything. For a pro to do it should be a couple hours on a lift, for say you to do it in the driveway about 6 hours or so not real hard with the right tools

thanks archemedes

Id go with a moser twelve bolt mike could help u out with a process of an install cuz he put one in his B4C.... why pay some1 when u can learn to do it yourself n save some $

cuz im 17 and what my dad says goes :tantrum:

why does my new rear end make a whinning sounds when i cruz at about 35 - 55??

not full of fluid possibly?
