Gearbox Just Sh1T Itself

[180 wanabe]

From memory the story goes like this. When op got the quaife limo, it suited the open diff, not the vlsd. As op had the vlsd, the output shafts were different to what the quaife suited. The shop who installed cut down the vlsd output shafts to suit the quaife, leaving less than normally would remain of the splines.

One would assume that the shaft has popped out, and or stripped one of the cut down splines.

Does that sum it up so far?

Pretty close except I ordered the diff for the US poverty spec 350z which has an open diff so in theory it should have just bolted in given my car is an auto and also runs an open dif from the factory. However for one reason or another my drop in replacement needed to have the right stub axle chopped down as it was too long. After scouring the net it seemed to be a pretty normal thing that a lot of people had ran into.

From what I can make out it looks like the axle has "poped" out when the install was happening the better option would have been to get a axle from a 350z wreck and use it instead

Anyhow over the next few days i'll find out one way or another. I told the diff shop about the install and the chop down/350z axle etc

Its been about 30k after the install happened with a few track days and a couple of large skids laid down
