While driving today (cruise was set) i heard a small clunk. Didn't think much of it because i didnt hear anything else out of place for the next 10 mins (rest of the ride home). I later went to work out and its this VERY loud clicking sound. almost goes away when off the gas. When we lifted the rear and tried to spin the wheels...they would spin but every full resolution they would get "stuck".

Im waiting for the rear to cool so i can drain the fluid and take a look at it. Does it sound like it can be the gears? maybe a tooth chipped?

Got a torsen? Something probably went awry... i.e. the worm gears in the carrier.

Hmm. Well if it is getting hung up and not turning, it should be obvious when you take the cover off tomorrow...maybe you lost a tooth or two. Good luck!

i took the cover off. Diff looked perfect. It was the gear the connects to the driveshaft. I don't know what its called. It loost a thooth or two. Any reason to why this breaks??
What is the part called so i can order it up?

Thanks alot for all the help,
Eric

i just saw that its part of the gear. The smaller piece. Anyway i can order just that part for 3.42 gearing?

The pinion? No you will need to buy both the ring and pinion. Now would be a good time to change gear ratios, if you were ever planning on it. Make sure you get a master installation kit also to change all the bearings.

i noticed both gears are chipped. Im in the process of taking the axles out now. This is my first time doing something like this but there is a guy down the street that has a transmission shop (dad has all his race transmissions done there)

If this is your first time you might want to get it done or have someone there that knows how to shim and set it up for it will wear with a correct pattern. If not it will whine like a sob . Just my .02
