xxjoeyxxeb Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Is it possible for a diff to spring a leak and seize a bearing or something? And geeze, that's crazy haha. Too bad it didn't do something cool like grenade, then you could have some pretty wicked carnage pictures/videos Speaking of grenading, I was on my co-op last fall and grenaded the company vehicles T-case on a Dodge Durango driving to work. I have pics somewhere and can post them if anyone wants in a new topic... sorry to change the subject. Hopefully you get the Z back on the road! I know how it is having one you can't drive.

janaka Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 will the R230 drop in and not need a new driveshaft? i know its not a "drop in" replacement itself but once installed the existing DS can be re-used? I'm just looking for clarification as my LS1 is going in and I would like to have an option ready for a diff for when my R200 goes... thanks in advance for any help.

hoov100 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 It was an LSD, the strongest link!! I thought the tranny would go first? hey give ron's rear ends a call there in mission hills CA or stick shift trans in san bernadino. both cool guys and and both their work is bar none.

big-phil Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 there was no noise, or leaking. I park in the same spot and there is nothing. I was talking to Chris and he thinks its the bearings on the input shaft. Maybe they seezed and thats where its leaking from. The rear case looks ok. I still have not taken anything apart. Goldfish are on sale at Kroger for $.50 a bag and I'm working my ass off with 3 Krogers!!! Making lots of $$$$ though so I can fix my sh....stuff.

Administrators BRAAP Posted April 3, 2008 Administrators Share Posted April 3, 2008 WOW! This thread is enlightening. I am amazed at how many people did NOT read what Phil described that did NOT blow up in the very first post, yet some of you still guessed the items that Phil said did NOT blowup! I'll give you a hint, its the strongest link in my set up. Its not the motor, trans, U-joints, clutch........ I had to get towed this morning, car will not roll! (runs great!)

Chemicalblue Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I have a spare diff if you need it..... Next thurs is the meeting and you dont want to miss that now do you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudypoochris Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 If it is the front bearing do you think you could send me the failed bearing bits (I would pay shipping naturally, it would be for research purposes) check this thread out for a replacement - provided it is indeed the front pilot bearing (next to the driveshaft flange) that failed: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=130782&page=3&highlight=nla+pinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemme go back and re-read... OK I re-read the thread and I want to change my guess to "differential". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 going to try to get it done sunday morn, Max after I fix the LSD you can have the stock r200 again. Take your time brother, I'm in no hurry! It won't become an issue for me for at least like two months, when I'll need to start thinking about how I'm going to get the car to another state (i'm leaning towards "under its own power" for now, but I guess we'll have to see...).

rudypoochris Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I'm seriously curious about what failed in the differential. I really can't think of anything like that that would stop the differential from rotating. Hmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
