Update on My problems:

Found a place in M'dore that straightens axels for about 100 each axel. Booken in wednesday

Some Fella is selling an upgraded clutch for 300 bucks which I look to have bought. So once I find a mechanic to fit it that will also go in.

And al of my problems, well car related ones SHOULD be gone.

Mitch I would advise against straightening your axle mate, they are hardened steel (about2-3mm thick of the outside metal) and that makes it more brittle. as soon as you apply heat heat or bend it back it alters the structure of the metal again creating a soft or weak spot which may, when stressed by wheelspin or large amounts of torque snap the axle in half. I studied metallurgy for 2 years in college when doing my fitting/machining apprenticeship. Have you tryed ftg auto salvage for another axle? they deal in xr6's and fpv wrecking and am pretty sure they have a few ba mk2 utes as well as a typhoon in there.
