Re: Backlash in the Transaxle?
Just figured I'd post an update and conclude this thread.
As of tonight, I have officially thrown in the towel with regards to this project. The welding fixes are impractical to do, have questionable longetivity and I'm fearful I'll end up ruining the new VCU.
With that being said, I was examining my old bad VCU and I noticed that it makes a clunk when I hit it with my hand (the new one doesn't do this). I'm hoping this is the cause of the clunk I've been hearing when going from decel to accel. If my car continues to clunk with the new VCU, I think I'll have the custom flared pins made. I made some measurements tonight and I found the planetary gear assembly dowel pins to be 2mm too small in diameter for their respective holes in the vcu. Can anybody think of a reason why the pins are so much smaller? Perhaps, ease of installation?
