Hello everyone...i did something stupid!
First, the facts:
88' XJ 5" lift, long arm, replacement packs, D35non-c, 31X10.5" tires, Np231 case, Peugeot, and AA SYE w/tom W cv drive shaft...
so i was driving in the parking lot and i accidentially dropped the clutch in first gear a little too fast....I hear a slight chirp of the tires, and a noticeable pop, or loud click! I push the clutch back in and the car is rolling along ... I now hear a thud, thud, thud and occasional clicking noise coming from under the car.
I cant tell if its from the driveshaft, the X-fercase, or the rear axle, or the tranny. but it is there under acceleration and decel. and comes and goes when coasting at about 3-5 Mph. I havent taken it faster since it happened. it seems to be at the frequency of the driveshaft, but arent these things suposed to be strong?
while coasting with the clutch in i can feel a slight pulsation in the motion of the vehicle...like something is rubbing.
I did the AA SYE install, and my guess is that i broke something in the x-case. any ideas?
I really didnt drop it all that hard, no smoking of tires
Jacked the rear up and the open diff seems smooth, the rear driveshaft feels tight when i turn it by hand. i dont feel any binding.
Im stuck, and im at college here in TUcson AZ, w/o my tools.
I need to get the beast back on the road ASAP/.
Part of what is making this hard to expalin is the flowmaster makes it a bit hard to hear what is happening.
what usually fails in the x-fercase after one of these AA SYE installs. could a snapring have popped off?
Im open to any and all insight
in the words of Lilu " Please help" thanks
