plastickmat Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Hey guys, I think this can help others and want to post it so I can get some advice at the same time! Recently when I was driving the car in a parking lot it felt like something was preventing me to move so I gave a little more gas (5 spd MT) and there was a noise, from then on there was knocking coming from the rear part of my tranny when DECELERATING mostly. So I removed the whole exhaust, the driving shaft, the transmission mount and whole cross member in the way, got the shifter linkage off (what a PITA) and was able to remove the COVER on the back of the transmission to find this sort of large shim in bad shape (A piece of it was broken into a bunch of smaller pieces riding around the center diff case... my two OUTPUT gears have damaged teeth, the bearings look good.. What to do from here? What is this shim? I mean if I just fix it up and straighten it out and removed the small damaged section flush all metalshavings from the case and reinstall the gears I think the car could drive for a while during this time I was planning on getting a good price for either the whole transfer case or a manual transmission from a scrapyard... What are you guys's opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 That's the Center differential. That clip is the retainer for the viscous coupler pack. I would say it's best to buy a new viscous coupler and replace the gears on the shafts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
