Munched transaxle from Drag Day
2 Attachment(s)
Well I pulled the engine and transaxle yesterday and found all the broken stuff. I had a failure on both sides of the diff. The Left inner CV exploded and the Right output shaft sheared at the CV flange.
As Jake would say,,,,,,,SWEET. |
It sounds like it's time for the 5-speed. :cool:
|
how did you brake it? i did the same thing to a output shaft by keeping my foot in it with really bad wheelhop.
|
I launched it at the drag strip,,,,,, well I tried to launch it.
The 5 speed will have to wait till winter, I need to get it back together for mid Aprill so I can go to Bug-A-Pulozza. |
Bummer Dave.... Sorry to hear about that... Hope you get it back on the road soon...
|
wow man, thast really sucks...hope things work out better for you :rolleyes:

Well I spent all day Tuesday at Jakes, took up 2 trans axles 1 that sould have had a 3.88 R&P and a .88 4th and 1 that was unknown. broke both of them down and found 4.12 R&P and .88 4th in boh.(same gears I had). Zen had bought a super dif and HD side cover to do a 3.88/.88 4th trans for the Ghia. I was going to build it and use it untill winter. Come to find out that that would not help his Ghia at all so I will buy the Dif and side cover and we scrounged up a 3.88/.88 4th combo and I built the dif ( after having to put it on a lathe and cut one of the thrust surfaces,,,,,(BugPack part)). Then the side cover had to be machined to the proper bore for the flange seal. Nothing like building up something 4-5 time more than you need to. But I think I have a good HD transaxle now. :agree:

If you'd like, I can stress test it in the bus for you... I've been wanting to get some top fuel take off pics :D . |
It's going in on Mon. if not sooner. I got to get it ready to go to Bug-A-Paluza. I will have to get my own smokey burnout pix.
