ZelchXR6T Member 25 Member For: 18y 1m 23d Gender: Male Posted 23/09/07 01:56 AM Share Posted 23/09/07 01:56 AM Hey guys,Yesterday when boost came on in second gear I heard a loud explosion from the rear and suddenly there was no drive in gears, just a loud grinding sort of sound. The car rolled to a stop, but there was no noise coming from the rear while it was rolling in neutral.Now, when I blew a diff once upon a time in a EA falcon, it even made noises while rolling in neutral. I'm hoping that it's just the CV's. Will try have a better look today, but it's really hard to have a good look under there as everything is well hidden. I hate going home on tow trucks! lol!

I know of a couple of cv's trying to eat themselves, have you had a look under the car yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could I be pretty certain in saying that the left CV is gone, and because of this, when the left wheel tries to drive when on the ground, because it is farked, the right wheel will also not drive because of the way a LSD works?

I know of a couple of cv's trying to eat themselves, have you had a look under the car yet?Hey,nah, shouldn't be gearbox related. Just got box back.my gf's dad had the left one go in his gt, sounds likethe same thing, got any warranty left?Nah, no more warranty. I was just hoping that it's not the actual diff itself, and now that I jacked it up and it's only doin it on the left side I think it's definately the CV and/or drive shaft. Was it a big job to replace them in the GT, or does it only involve taking the wheels and discs off and replacing the parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
