Topic: Apparently loud clicking trying to go at high RPM = New DIFF NEEDED!

[BikersCage]

Hah! So I decided to get down to some business with these 4 days off!

I was losing a lot of power (almost all of it) especially when trying to gas up quick. It turned out not to be the spur gear or slipper clutch!

Off everything came!


So the culprit had to be on the other side.  Connecting to the dog bones!




There she is the differential is losing power someplace because all of the other gears are in correctly. 

You cannot tell but even with minimal amount of rounding these gears will suck!


So i loaded it with a shit load of grease and tightened it back together as hard as i could to see if i could get some last life out of her. (New one is 30 bucks at the hobby store)

Now where do all of these screws go!



Put it all back together... low and behold I had two extra!  I guess i could save and cut cost and design better than those real mechanics!

Still same nasty sound and slipping... Although I am still sure its the DIFF.  Maybe tomorrow I will go mess with the slipper clutch and the other gears...

Or just take out the Savage and run it into dogs!

P.S. Who wants me to work on their xterra!

I got a C200K laying around somewhere.

Tightened the slipper clutch it is definetly not that.

I guess i need to have the other side open and see if those are slipping.  It does sound like plastic on plastic, but could be metal on metal.  As its small metal and i did it enough I thought the plastic would of melted.  Maybe ill just go let it go for like 5 min tomorrow and see whats melted then I will knwo for sure!

Toro its not the motor itself its one of the gears somewhere which is amazingly cheaper thank god.  A new motor would cost around 100 bucks.

C200k is a rear dif for the automatic trans xterras.  Might wanna replace the slipper plates as they wear down and not lockup

My attempt at a funny.

No I got it but it sounded like biker thought you were offering a new motor for his mini rig

[BikersCage]

Yeah now that i understand it is funny!

The motors for these are actually named quite similiar thats why i thought that.

Yea I remember that from my rc days.  I've had way too many hobbies.
