As I said in Norman's thread we had to put a new differential in as the old one wasnt engaging properly and it'd been that way for quite awhile . I replaced it with an auburn and thought my troubles were over but...no....the Spec Stage 3 started slipping at just 10k miles (1.5 yrs old) so I found an LS6 clutch for $25 . Tim and his brother installed it last week and that Spec was surely toast. It was so bad that the pressure plate had chewed the flywheel all up from the rivets and the disk of course was paper thin. I asked Tim to hollow out the cats while he was working on the car and guess what? My two year old cats had hollowed out themselves....not a remnant of any ceramic parts at all. He also installed a Hotchkis panhard rod that I painted purple to go along with the scheme . And one more thing that was installed was a new tranny mount from Energy Suspension
Next the power steering pump went last weekend also!! I'll be replacing that this coming weekend and adding a B&M Trans Cooler. Also this coming Saturday we're driving to WV to get a T/A hatch to replace my Formula one. I got a great deal on that as well and have two great offers for painting (the hatch is currently NBM).
All in all my car is riding and driving 100% better now. I got the clunking gone when I put it in gear, high revving and the thumping in the back. Car rides like a dream .
Anyway just sharing. Here's a pic of the purple panhard rod
