Re: IML: sure grip whine



If they rebuilt it, they may have adjusted something incorrectly, but a good shop would not have released the car until the the work was right. Did the owner of the shop test drive the car before you paid for it and picked it up? There should be no sound from the differential.

The whine is power on only.  It's always whined while I've had it.  The only thing left to whine is the R @ P.  But I guess it's a shot in the dark with a used one because the shop might think it looks good but it might whine anyway.

Can someone tell me if the shop should have known by looking at the R @ P that it would whine? My original complaint was the whine.

 

Thx,

Chris

I don't think you ever stated, if the noise or whine is with power on, power off, or coast. If it made the same sound before service, it was probably repaired before and not set - up right. In that case the ring and pinion would wear incorrectly, and make noise. If the service done now, simply re-shimed to the old set-up, or possibly correct, the noise will continue. Any adverse whine or noise is tell-tale premature ware. If a used ring&pinion are installed, very careful set-up should be done, or the same problem will exist, since the gears already have a ware pattern set. The standard 2.76-2.94-3.23 should be whisper quiet.

It isn't suppose to make any noise.

Hi again all!Â
Â
Well, I just had my sure grip rebuilt because of a whine by a
reputable
rear end shop here. I took it out myself and handed it to them.
Replaced all bearings and clutches, but not the ring and pinion
because
it looked good to them. $540. worth all together. They showed me the
clutches and they were in terrible shape-broken and such so it needed
doing.Â
Â
Guess what, the whine is still there! The rebuilder drove in my car
and
said it's the ring and pinion. He was wondering if this might be the
nature of this beast? They said they'd be willing to drop in a used
ring for $150. more with no guarantees on the whine because it's
used.
I really don't want to sink more $ into this if I can help it for a
new
oneÂ
Â
What are your opinions about this possibly being normal and is there
any magic oil that might quiet it down a bit?(besides bananas?)Â
Anyone?Â
Â
Thx,Â
Chris StrohmeyerÂ
