2G AWD Problems - Grinding, won't go into gear from nuetral....

Well, found out whats wrong:

"These gears have all kinds of pitting occurring on the teeth. This happens from hard launching and I'm surprised that the teeth didn't break off."

The input shaft, intermediate shaft, and 1st gear are all shot to #%$ and back. So I'll be going with the EVO 3 first/input. Oh well, more money gone.

Got the transmission back from Jon@TRE. I'll be installing it within the next week or so.

I went with the EVO3 first gear, 4 spider center, and taller 5th gear. I had to replace the intermediate shaft as well. Everything looks great! I'm ready to get some seat time in the car.

Two, you are forcing more pressure on the entire clutch system then it is designed.

There is no additional pressure. It's merely, as you stated in the following sentence to the one above, that the system is under a constant amount of pressure when not being actuated. (ie TOB riding on the PP fingers all the time)


However, you missed the point of having the system in cut-off, which essentially induces the same conditions without the need for the S/C rod botteming on the S/C bore.


Nice to see people are finally listening to what I said and preaching the correct info.

Any tips on shimming the pivot ball?
