Gus dropped by the shop last night, thanks for the hand man. Really when you have a trans apart its good to have a 2nd set of hands, eyes, memory. LOL
Now I've got the "did I forget something?" complex. Driving around listening for things.
But 2nd WORKS! No more having to rev match and just grinding into 2nd. Gotta make an adjustment on the Axle bracket, seems to be vibrating more than it should. Also over tightened the ball/spring bolts and makes the tranny a bit too stiff.
To anyone else with an AWD that knows for sure their VC and Ceter diff is still good. If you are driving in a parking lot or something, at like 5mph. If you pop into neutral and let it coast while going full lock, does you car feel like it binds slightly? Im assuming since the VC tries to keep the front and rear spinning at the same speed, and in a sharp turn the front moves faster than the rear, the VC is applying the resistance to the front. It never gets bad to were its like a jeep and you chirp tires but I do notice it. Just never realized this until last night, dunno if I threw in a the wrong VC (there was two on the table and a question of which was mine) possibly mine was dead the whole time and I accidently threw the good one in and now its working how it should? Or maybe it always did and I never noticed because I never cared to take notice. (like the people with engine probs then listen under the hood and hear injector tick and think that is a problem, was always there but they never cared to listen) Or I'm just paranoid?
