Clunking Diff, Or Is It.. ?

hey there,.

im getting a problem pretty much like axle tramp but when im cornering right hand turns even under very low throttle the rear end clunks an shakes violantly. Its literally like driving a car that has bad axle tramp when you dump the clutch in the wet and it shakes like crazy. it also does it a little when i gun it through 2nd and into 3rd. between gear it shakes a bit, iv only just felt this though because i had my clutch done. the major problem is the right hand turns.

the problems pretty shocking so i need a solution pretty soon. Pedders checked out all my suspention and rekn that everything is in perfect condition and they think that my diff might be is shagged and has huge amounts of play in it which is what they think is causing the shuddering.

The diff also clunks a bit in 4th,5th or reverse when you back on and off throttle lightly so im thinking that my diff is rooted. Surely if the thing has a mechanical diff init it wouldnt be this harsh would it ? and it would do it al the time not just right hand turns ?

advise and ideas greatly appreciated guys!!

cheers

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.

      You need to buy a Saab Matt, ours had a button that turned all the dash lights off. Any decent aftermarket dash has sufficient brightness control and a headlight input for day/night settings. None of which probably helps OP

      Yeah thanks...i thought it would be alot more i dont know 馃槃 I saw some videos on converting push/pull and it seems you need to "drill" the hole for slave(master) cylinder and buy some converter kit. On that front yoke clip i did not even know that is a thing and i need to source that(custom shops do not do that?) But anyway thank you for the info

      Turn signal wiring question

      By GTSBoy 路 Posted

      Not the headlight. It's the DRL that serves double duty as white and amber. Would be the easiest way to make it happen, if fitting a BCM was in any way an easy thing. Otherwise you'd do it with some relay logic and/or maybe some diodes.

      Would require a very smart body control module which these cars are about 20 years to old to have
