    LSD/Differential Questions - Need Advice

    If you want a Torsen, get the complete differential. If you do a carrier swap, you will have to change the side shafts as well...the Torsen ones are longer than the LSD side shafts. Here's a link on how a Torsen works: http://members.rennlist.org/951_racerx/PS84Gleason.html

    can we say stupid??

    Try driving in Cairo...combat driving at it's finest. No traffic lights or control of any kind...nose position is everything. And, when the British were there building roads, they made a bunch of traffic circles...we called them a "whirling dervish" LOL.

    You will always get a code 51 with the AC on ;) It will also appear anytime the gas petal is depressed.

    This is how u package items!

    The key to a good pack job is keep it tight! If the parts cant move inside, it take real abuse to hurt them. Heavy stuff...I'll double box ;)

    Rusty Nuts (work safe) Help!

    Pretty expensive...the 1/2" Porter Cable (500 ft/lb) is about $110...the 3/4" (800 ft/lb) is about $190. Check with your local Auto Zone and see if they have a lender impact...of course you will need an air compressor ;) Keep in mind, you "might" twist the wheel stud off...course that...

    Piston Preference

    If you do, use Toyota freeze plugs...I had an after market freeze plug blow on me :3d_frown: Coolant drained in a couple of minutes...what a mess! I was lucky it didn't trash my motor and they are a PITA to replace with the motor in the car!

    Hollywood celeberties are smarter/better than everybody else

    Make no mistake...people with these kind of credentials are very smart. Common sense...a whole different story. Sometimes being very intelligent gets in the way of seeing things as they really are...preconceived thoughts, ideas or ideology cloud the true picture. Then there's the agenda...

    Interesting...the one above in the pic is a 3 wire and the one I pulled off my old tranny to fix my shift problem was also a 3 wire. Must be an ABS connection.

    OK ENOUGH! Urgent help needed Auto experts in here NOW!

    It's def the speed sensor...and, it will cause exactly the problem you are having. When I swapped my new performance tranny in, I had the speed sensor in the pic below installed.

    Al-Queada, says not giving up.

    Adjuster - It's refreshing for someone to tell the way it is in the middle east. I too lived over there, in both war and peace times (not as long as you though) and had an entire military course on how religion affects the social/cultural structure. Your post #18 was dead on and you know your...
