Getrag go boom
Hard shift to 2nd with a 949 twin disc. 6spd is fine. Getrag go boom. :mad:
|
Used or new?
|
Well on the positive side of things, the Getrag is ~1/4 to 1/3 the cost of a 6 speed... unless it was a new one.

Used. Supposedly from a 40k mile car.
|
~250 twerks right? Thats a lot less than those are supposed to be able to handle...
-Ryan |
Miata : v8 shattering torque :D
|
Old crack in a tooth that shattered or a pinion deformed like a corkscrew and stripped all gears?
I.e. too much power/grip or just a flawed unit? |

A lot of grip - 12" road race slicks. A lot of power - more than 250ft/lbs. An on/off clutch. But yeah, a lot less weight. Not sure what failed. Not gonna take it apart until I see if I can get the yard to warranty it. Sure, another one is cheaper (or free under warranty) than a tranny but if it won't hold up the price doesn't matter.

<p>Wheel hop? I'm guessing not as you would have mentioned it.</p>
|
Well.....that whole assumption thing. Wasn't the diff after all. Somehow something moved permanently on that 1/2 shift and the driveshaft flange was grinding on the ppf.
|
Did you take any pics of your finished install?
|
Well that's interesting. Wonder which mount was the culprit.
My bet: PPF. That thing is flexy. -Ryan |
Haven't quite figured that out yet. I would think ppf also, but I don't understand how it would have stayed over too far. Should have just moved back. I'll look at it closer tomorrow.

Carnage pics?

^ Read post #1, skipped the rest.
