Big Poppa Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 For starters, I showed up late, so the guys floundered aimlessly for the three hours before I got there. But at least teh beer drinking hadn't taken swing yet. At the end of the day, we decided to not put it all back together as teh output shaft on the drivers side of the diff felt a bit loose... Better safe than sorry, but here's the pics on the day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dvl4evr Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 u guys are crazy. No one could pay me enough to do a vette clutch on the ground. You're a Vette pro, maybe you can shed some light on the concern we had. The shaft on the passenger side of the differential is tight, but the driver's side shaft had some wiggle room to it, when you grab the end and move it back & forth. Is that normal/ok or is something wrong in the diff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Poppa Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 There was a lot of stroking the shaft. And whacking it. And jacking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F22trainer Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 WOW! Looks like fun...with all those bodies under the car I can safely say that engine bay would not look like that had I been able to make it. LOL! Good luck with the completion and the shaft play issue...might not hurt to replace the U-joints while you're in there. Good one Jim! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerVette Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 It's still funny to think "clutch" and then see everyone under the rear of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dvl4evr Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I know, I know. I've neglected the engine compartment. Give me a break though, it's my DD & my work is surrounded by dirt lots on 3 sides. Sometimes I can't help but blow off steam by doing donuts in the lots. Lol. j/k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie44 Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 He got a pretty hard time about it, told him it was dirtier than Eddie's! Of course Eddie solved the problem by buying a new car My dad used to say he traded cars when the ashtray got full. I don't smoke so it has to be when the engine turns brown. Some of you don't know what it's like to keep a daily driver clean. Mine wouldn't get dirty either if I kept it in an inflatible bubble in my garage like someone we all know.
