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:
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.
that sucks dude ![]() |

Same thing happened to me, drivers side? I replaced my tranny in case there was metal pieces inside. I never took the old one apart but there was shavings all in the axel hole.. I'll take it apart one of these days lol
