Default Re: Bad Thud in drivetrain, videos.......help

That is a good idea, someone suggested a while back to just tap out the old dowel pins and make provisions for larger dowel pins, and drill larger holes into the vcu to almost "renew" the dowelpins/hole with a tighter clearance. I also thought about what your saying " snapping the car in reverse", but idk who ever launches the car in reverse, lol I think that is the only way to break this weld if anything, but I get what your saying by snapping inreverse, I don't think that will be a problem at all, as long as your weld is strong. Actually After everything is welded together you could have it balanced, the output shaft has balancing holes drilled into the ends of it. So after welding you could balance it as an asembly maybe a driveshaft shop??, but you would have to weld the output shaft as well so it stayed together. I really love these cars, I think it would be cool to be able to get a subaru center diff or some center diff readily availble that would be modified to fit this car so we don't have to wait for someone to sell theirs.......good luck with your tranny.
