    tales of woe...

    well the car went to the tranny shop. It was worse then I expected. I guess the previous owner had "installed" 3:73's... every bolt was loose or sheered off when the case was opened. The ring gear was held on by 2 bolts. all the bearings were trash. There were a few large gouges out of the case...

    looks like I'm getting gears :(

    I know I should be a happy guy, but my rear end crapped out (rotational clunk, often related to broken spider gears)... So... I'm pricing out some 4:10's and hopefully getting them done cheap (I really need to get a daily driver) I could do them if I didn't work every day and have no spare time...

The only writeup I've seen has been on snap-ons shopkey program at work and it is said to require removing the whole irs subframe... I know there has to be another...
