kuntzie Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 well new stage 3 clutch + 2nd gear pull = ... well i think it was caused by the reinstall (didnt drop the passenger side, and it broke because engine was on an angle for a bit and might have weakened it but damn it snaped pretty good luckily i have a few spares of each, but hopefully that doesnt happen again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuntzie Posted June 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 took about 25 minutes or so, new one works great, hopefully they dont break anymore this year, and it was just a fluke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skalor Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 That's actually the original TGP axle on the driver's side so 17 years isnt' too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Is anything actually broken? Kinda looks like it just pulled apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGPilot Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Is anything actually broken? Kinda looks like it just pulled apart. Yeah...looks like it got hyper-extended and did not seat back in. You didn't feel anything weird before that happened...like hard pulling to one side or it being notchy when you turned? GP front shafts are some of the strongest half shafts on the market. I know of a slightly shortened set in a 750HP 800ft/lb Kharman Ghia. Not a hint of bending or snapping since they have been in the car for 3 seasons of 1/4 mile racing. He runs 8 sec and his best 60' was a 1.4 if I remember right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GutlessSupreme Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 x3 I don't really see anything that's broken, but if you've got spares you might as well use them because now the grease is contaminated and shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 I don't think he could have reused that one anyway, the bearings are MIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
