2G drivetrain issue random 2wd(diffs,vc,axle?)

DSM Chase · Jan 31, 2015

Car starting sounding weird while cruising after spirited driving (digs) last night. Car felt like it wanted to bind In reverse this morning, on power it feels like 2wd and is all over the place, I jacked it up and all four tires spin when in gear....visually axles look good, t case looks good, rear diff, trans etc, No grinding noises.

Viscous Coupler, Center Diff, Rear?

Sounds like symptoms of center diff. You wont know unless you pull it.

This morning the car pulled straight again with all four wheels...it was intermittent yesterday too, I'm thinking rear LSD or viscous coupler?

Still sounds like center to me. Seen it too many times.

Will there be evidence in the trans fluid from the center diff?

pauleyman · Feb 1, 2015

Not necessarily. You could have removed it by now.

center diff is the most common problem cause its the weakest unless you have a 4 spider gear one . i would drain the fluid and go through it with a magnet to see if you find any metal .

Have been to busy to check the fluid, the car is now completely slipping, free revving and roaring through drivetrain, clanks and pops when turning sharp...Ive narrowed it down to the front axles/Center or Front Diff.

Again....center diff. Whatever it is stop dtiving it.

Trans is coming off, we will see the carnage soon... It just threw me off cause for a while it was rarely happening, obviously its failed now.
