monstaru Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 ok,ok,i believe i have found it....shawn w was right i think.i wiggled my inner cups and both of them seem loose.i am going to confirm that when ruda gets over here and i feel his inner cups(he said i had to buy him dinner first, but i think i will just give him a barley soda.....) if this is the case it would be a hella relief..........

wesley willis Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 i find your post strangely hilarious. it's good though that you found your clunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 You can adjust the backlash but its not for the novice but at this point if you are willing to try it and know that you may trash the front diff by trying it, send me a PM. I don't want to publish instructions on how to do this you could do SERIOUS damage and I dont want to be responsible for destroyed transmissions.

nicky nighteyes Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 i find your post strangely hilarious. it's good though that you found your clunk. sorry i wasnt paying attention, so this is your inner front axle cups? what is failing? reason i ask is I used to have a tranny clunk as well, but it hasnt rear its ugly head in a while.

nicky nighteyes Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 so ahh tranny stubs then? care to enlighten the rest of us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstaru Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 well, i don't know how i could enlighten you on it.......i have had a serious clunk on acceleration and most stops for quite a while now.i replaced all bushings on and mounts on the front end and it would not go away.shawn suggested that it was the backlash in my tranny not being adjusted properly .the only way to tell if it was as diagnosed i wiggled my stub axles with my cv's on and there was way to much movement.so the deduction was that yes the pinion gear was moving around in there and yes it was getting worse over the coarse of time.

nicky nighteyes Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 that did it. thanks now I gonna go double check my stubs.... glad you found it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstaru Posted January 16, 2006 Author Share Posted January 16, 2006 got the 5 spd in and .....welll, there is no clunk! awesome.....now i just have to get the driveline in before i drive it again and lose all my gear oil(yes i did it,and only lost a tad before i wasn't a dumb*** anymore). got the tailend of the tranny "plugged " in a very imaginative way with the help of baccaruda,and man if i could only explain it.it is funny lookin...involves a cv boot,a couple of hose clamps and a shifter handle.
