I found out that it was a clip that broke that caused me to lose 5th, and apparently the box was in really good condition. They seem to think that the power had nothing to do with it even though they shouldn't be able to cope that power! Couldn't afford the T56, anyways, I'm still selling the car.

Apparently mine went because my car is so low at the back , and this caused unnnecessary stress on the components (ball cage etc). Theres a few threads on the site regarding stronger CV's that would be worth a read.Of the top of my head I only know the power is 325rwkw. Not sure on torque. Power curve is pretty rapid though.

I'll wander around to service and have a chat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venom XR Turbo Member 63 Member For: 21y 27d Gender: Male Posted 11/09/08 03:51 AM Share Posted 11/09/08 03:51 AM ZelchXR6T Ive done my right CV joint (05 Typhoon) under boost when dropping the clutch with brand new tyres and not enough throttle (it was shuddering with too much grip from tyres - not clean wheelspin - and I didnt back off soon enough)... my symptons where just as you have decribed. I was worried I damaged my diff at first too, but I didnt... with the CVs breaking first (being the weakest point), your diff should hopefully be OK!good luck mateVenom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were you Id definitely get upgraded CV replacement for peace of mind... the ford ones are crap... I got a ford one put back in mine and its always in the back of my mind now to be extra careful. Not saying I want to be able to treat my car like crap and thrash it, I drive it pretty well without hurting it too much... but I do like to have spontaneous fun at times ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
