So I made my self some fancy delrin rear diff mounts.



Guess what? DO NOT EVER USE THOSE. ESPECIALLY if you have a racing beat torque brace for the engine.



Anyone want to guess what the outcome is? I'll put up pics after I get out of the shower

Were you hitting it with a hammer or what? What are all those dents?

Most of those look like overstressed casting cracks.



Did the motor blow up at some point in that car? Looks like a thousand years of grime has accumulated under there.



And for god sake, PUT THE HAMMER DOWN! What did that tranny ever do to you? I could see beating the **** out of it after it gave you problems, but damn.

yup. I was trying to see if i could knock a crack apart. But I couldn't It was a 12 mm wrench that I tapped it with.



I don't know where all this tranny oil is coming from then, because the last time I replaced my clutch 20,000 kms ago i replaced both the front and rear tranny seals. Looks like I will know tommorrow for sure.



When the car was brand new the owner had the car undercoated, it's the stuff that doesn't dry and you can't really remove it...
