Well I thought at first it was going to be a suspension issue but reading on the noise my car was making turns out my gears are shot in the rear. Rightfully noticeable now so... my plans are to piece together an auburn hd carrier 3:42 gears after talking with a guy who builds rear ends here local to me he suggested them for a DD. also Moser axles. Damn **** ton of money will be spent priced out with rebuild kit at ~$900. Sweet deal. Shant man I will let you know when I buy the stuff and possibly try and baby the car over to your shop or get triple A to tow it there if you don't mind at some point in the future.

sorry to hear that, what kinda noise was it making to make you thinks it's your gears?

well started out on turns it would jerk and make clunking noise then it kept getting worse then driving back from lunch yesterday three lound bangs came from the back when accelerating in a straight line and well now it sounds like a fork in a grinder on low setting and clunks and bucks like a mad horse in a rodeo.

As picked up from the the axles and gears section in the last sticky in that section about when will my 10 bolt go bad.

You'd think in this economy and with cash you'd be able to find yourself a nice barely used 12 bolt in the sub $2k range.

hahaha yeah but I have no need for a 12 bolt for now maybe in like 3 or 4 years once I pay off my bills and then maybe have another car, who knows I may just bust out the second gen and do all kinds of nastyness to it.

That's retarded as **** to pay that much to fix a 10 bolt! Just get a used one for $200. I know someone that has a few.

right? i'm still waiting to find one of those. maybe you could some used gears in a salvage yard to tide you over until you save up for one LS1Adam84.
i know the scrap yard by my place has a bunch of fbodies there with the rears intact. just another option instead of spending a lot of money on your 10 bolt.

Yeah I know someone who has a 3:42 in bakersfield with lower miles for $300.

Anyone deal with calspeed and performance in the bakersfield area?

Just get a used one! it doesnt take that long to do the swap..you'll find a couple on craigslist

LS1Adam84

iTrader: (21)

yeah I found one in bakersfield with 69k on it i should check craigslist too but I would prefer someone on here cause then I can get a feel for the person ya know. I am leaning towards buying a used rear should only take me a couple hours by myself in the ol parents driveway, damn apartment complex doesn't allow any working on vehicles.

i feel ya on the apartment issue, but i'd rather not get ***** deep into a repair in an apartment parking lot and find out something else is wrong or i don't have the right tool. had that happen before and that **** sucked

LS1Adam84

iTrader: (21)

yeah man good thing is the pep boys i used to work at is like 3 min walk from my apartment, and my office is now 5 mins from there so all relatively close.

funny thing was, when that happened i was new to the area and didn't realize i had a napa that was no more than a 10 minute walk. god i felt stupid. good luck with you fix man

Thanks yeah replacing the rear sounds better than spending almost a grand on the 10 bolt. I was thinking hey maybe good to see how hard I can push this 10 bolt, but i believe I have done so already and well she took a ****.

so u have a auborn im guessing? or are you not sure?

LS1Adam84

I think its a torsen cause my symptoms were indicative of what the torsen sounds like when it goes bad. well when i get it out I will be putting it up for free for anyone to come and grab.

Yeah I agree with the others, its a better idea to just find a 3.42 geared rear from an M6 f-body. Will definately wake your car up compared to the 2.73s. No need to spend $900 on a damn 10 bolt.

i really dont think the torsen is going to make that noise. at least open up the rear and check it out! it could be that there is no oil in the rear

Although it's sold, this is what I'm getting at: https://ls1tech.com/forums/lsx-parts...e-alabama.html

Either way Adam, good luck on another used 10 bolt lasting you another 3-4 years. Maybe you'll get lucky.
