If you have 4:10 gears, you have the 7", not the 6" (1.6l). Not sure on how to check the health of the torsen (assuming you have one), but this may be an opportunity to move to the 3.90 ring & pinion if you want.
If you have in fact disintegrated a 7" (1.8l) rear, your the first I think I've heard of at least on a relatively low HP turbo car. Wally, you must be hard on them. No too many flubbed heal/toes at the track have there :-) ? The casing on the 1.8l diff, is physically larger in every dimension than the 1.6l, but I can't remember if there are any distinguising charateristic other than if you have one piece axles, then it's a 1.8l (96+) ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, July 19, 2008 8:21 PM Subject: Fuel pump won't turn off & rear end damage questions So, repalced the transmission (2nd gear sheered 3 teeth again).. all was good for 30 miles, then the rear end disintegrated. Leaking fluid out of the case, makes ungodly noises. Questions: 1 - how do I tell a 7" from the 8"? I assume the car has the bigger rear, but need to confirm. 2 - Anyone have 4.10 gears (ring and pinion) for sale? 3 - How can I tell if the torsen was damaged? Visual inspection or functional test or both? Secondary issue, after the tranny swap and prior to rear-explosion, the fuel pump would not turn off after prime. Would continue running. Any ideas on what might have cuased this? Ran fine otherwise... Thanks, Wally This e-mail and any attachments are confidential.
