has my differential gone?

jef0509 · Jan 8, 2004

When I come to a stopsign making a right turn, I accelerate out of the turn in first - but when I hit the gas my car revs high but I don't feel the power getting to the wheels, sometimes it will kick in when the tach gets to 4-5k but sometimes I have to shift before I start seriously accelerating. This also happens sometimes on a straight away in first gear when I am at wot, but rarely, mostly on turns. Is this my differential? I thought when the differential went it would make my inside tire smoke when I go around a sharp turn. Also, what would fix this? I am going to get gears soon, so I want to fix it while I'm in there. I thought at first it might be the clutch, but the clutch only has 10k miles on it and there are no other signs that its worn.

btw its a 91gt w/ 100k miles

Thanks in advance, hope it wasn;t too confusing

It's the clutches inside your rear end, I got new ones for $40 somewhere online. Once you put those in, your car will feel totally different, and you will be sliding on turns

When they go in, make sure you soak them in friction modifier for at least 15mins, and put it all in.

not really, but you should have someone do it, or have someone who knows what they are doing help you install the gears, the hardest part is shimming the gears, and putting the s-spring back in
