Your splernin is probably totally glarked. If I were you I'd go ahead & garnduen the dertitn while I'm at it otherwise you'll end up dewquiping if not gyervxinin the ploarten & then, well, you're f**k*d. Hope this helped as much as the info you provided. Let us know how it turns out!

thx
pat

sorry for the crappy pic. its the cylnder inside the diff case

LOL, Dude we'd love to help ya but your crappy pic is as bad as you crappy discription of the problem.

Take it completely apart, if the teeth on the gears aren't broken it maybe one of the sheer pins, pull it all apart clean everything and you'll find the issue. It's not Rocket Surgery

What truck or buggy is it out of anyways?

i think thats a t-maxx dif....?

Is it really that hard to describe how messed up something is, or how broken it is without using language that really isn't appropriate for a public forum? I don't mean to be rude, but people of all ages use this forum, and I am sure some think it's cleaver to put asterisks in place of letters, but it does not really change it. Ok I am done with that.

As for your diff. Check to make sure none of the screws that hold the cup to the ring gear are broken. I have sheered off 3 out of 4 of those things. Also check the spyder gears inside the cup. The pin that holds them in could have broken. Make sure none of the teeth are missing. And this time when you put it back together shimming the diff will help to prevent things from breaking in the future. Hope this helps.

Wow I guess you can write in these forums without having to cuss .......

i just dont know waht he is saying get a new differential

how much is a good diff gona cost me?.......



pat

Pat are you pulling our leg or something, Have you even taken it apart?

BTW, you may want to loosen up your slipper so you don't break it up again, good luck

You have to at least try to solve the problem before you ask for help!

Try your local hobby store. They will be able to help you much better than we can over the internet.

And.. no cussing please!

ram

pat

have fun with ur spool ur goin to be spinin out all over the place

if any thing i can allwase go back... i found out what the prob is i think.. their is nothing to stop the pider diff from spinning in the housing??!??


pat

spool for racing, that doesn't go together unless you just like to spin in circles.

Yeah, spools are for going in straight lines (drag racing anybody?). You definitely don't want that on an off road vehicle. Chances are better than average that you will spin out going into corners. Stick with what you have and limit the diff action by using the right diff oil.
