Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone has ever killed a Open Diff form an aristo... It seems some how I have... I was driving normally and making a right turn when all of a sudden I heard a huge clunk and the car looses power then it comes back on again followed by a few more clunks. After babying it home I find out it works perfect going stirght, and only at low speeds it's making these hiddious noises.

I still have that vibration on the highway at 80-150 KPH and was wondering if that could have caused the diff to go bad.

Other then that anyone have a diff for sale?!

 

wierd never heard of anyone killing an open diff.

 

never seen an open diff go bad before, maybe a tooth broke on the ring and pinion?

 

Have you checked the level of the diff fluid?

 

no havn't checked the fluid to be honest, but that would make it size... anyways gonna pull it out tomrrow... anyone know the ratio and if a mk4 auto is the same... looking at getting a torsen LSD.

Actually i've been thinking about it and I think it's maybe the spider gears.

I heard these are the usual suspects to go bad.

 

Well, i'll take it apart tomorrow, I got the new diff i picked up today.. picked up a auto TT LSD... hopefully the torsen will hold up to my BPU punishment...

AND i get to fry 2 tires instead of one!
