turns out the flywheel bolts were loose. bad, very bad & sloppy.

torque wrenches should be every n00b's best friend, and a helper, too.

all good now. just got to get my exhaust welded.

My transmission was hungry and wanted to eat my axle.






So any suggestions?

From the other side I can't really fit anything through the hole because there's a thin bar in the way

I'm wondering:
  • If this transmission really has LSD afterall.
  • If pieces of the axle could fall into the transmission.


I guess the only way to know is to take it apart.

you could always try a huge extractor bit, but probably just need to take apart the transmission.

LOL Pun intended?

She was fine for a while. I just have to learn to gradually step on the gas instead of punch it!
