Ok, So I am tracking down an issue on my Supra that is giving me a hard time. Through building my car, I rebuilt the R154, new snychros, bearings and seals.
Now, I was driving the car and everything seemed fine. I drove for about 3-4 miles at about 40MPH, and then a vibration started. It sound like a gears were being shredded. I came to a stop, put the car in neutral and the noise went away. Started to accelerate and the noise was there and heard much louder in fourth gear.
The noise does not start right away, if I go and start driving the car sitting overnight, no noise, after a few miles, then it starts. This is just not a one time thing, it happens like this EVERYTIME.
I had the car on the lift, ran it in 4th gear at 40MPH and it was making a "clunk" kind of noise. I know it is not the best way to describe it but imagine hitting two hammers together, but the sound has a little deeper tone.
Anyone know the bearing numbers needed to rebuild an LSD diff? I have another diff sitting here but that one was run without oil, so I am guessing it would need clutch packs too?
I have been talking to Ian and Joliroger, and here is what I have done based on there advice.
-Driveahaft Carrier Checked, Video sent to Ian to show the amount of play. Looked normal.
-Carrier Spacers between chassis are installed properly now, was on the bolt side not up against the chassis like it should be.
-LSD has oil and additive, previous owner used the Ford oil additive.
-Once again, the vibration noise only appears after the car is driven a couple of miles, so I assume after the oil in the diff or gearbox gets thinner? Just a thought.
