  • oops broke the trans

    well i am sitting here at my computer looking at some peices of the final drive cover. and parts of a spider gear out of my cutlass that i picked up off of the ground alittle while ago..... needless to say it dosent move any more... looks like ill be putting a final drive in this weekend...... i have had the trans out 3 times but i have never put a final drive in without having the trans out... it dosent look to fun.. but not to teribably hard either...

      I feel your pain. That's why I posetd earlier about the 65. Need tougher bottoms and more gear. I want to know if parts are compatible.
      If you are driving a Chevy, everything else, is just a blur. 3.4 Carbon Footprint.

        Heh,

        I certianly feel your pain. I'm looking at picking up the LSD for the same reason.

        I believe you were searchin for: http://www.domesticperformance.com/p...roducts_id=282

        Out of morbid curiousity, did you snap the main rod in the carrier housing? This is what happened to me. It occured right where a pin through this rod holds the entire assembly in the carrier housing. IMHO, this seems kinda like poor design... But then again, I'm no mechanical engineer. Good Luck![/url]

            If you are looking for a limited slip, contact "pontiacjeff" on this site. He runs/owns Engineered Performance and can do the conversion. You should also talk to him about a 3.33 diff for better overall gearing.
