I'm driving down the highway cruising at 65ish, trying to use as little gas as possible(91 is $3.35!) And I see headlights coming up fast. I recognize them as camaro lights, and stick in in 4th real quick and wait for him to get next to me.
As soon as he does I drop it in 3rd and shoot ahead about a car and let off, seeing if he's going to play, he speeds up real quick and gets next to me and I wait for him to take off, and when he does I hit it and wind out 3rd ahead by about a car, then I shift to 4th, and when I let out the clutch(or try at least) the backend of the car starts shaking BAD, so I push the clutch in, take it out of 4th, then try it again, same thing. So I slow down, take the next exit, and pull into a parking lot.
I take a look at the rear end, and see some gear oil on the gas tank, but no dripping. I open the hood to see if everything is fine and it shook my intake pipe off where it turns to go into the fenderwell. Put it back on, tightened the clamp, everything fine. I drive off, go through all the gears, works like before. I get on it in 3rd again, not winding it out this time, and shift to 4th, then to 5th, and its all good.
Everything seems to be working fine now, and it got me home, but I just cant figure out wtf happened
Anyone have any ideas?
These are the specs on the driveline
8.8"
Aluminum DS
31 spline 5 lug axles
3.55 gears
Auburn diferential and a t/a diff cover
:damnit:
