Sick Pony: 74' Sport Resto Mod for Trail and Street

[chuzie]

Good idea on the deiseling...

Trans is leaking between trans and aluminum block adapter. its a 2wd trans. had rtv there, thinking i might just drop the tcase and re-rtv...

Gears- setup as best i could for first attempt... only thing i cant be certain on is pinion preload, since i dont have a small guage torque wrench. the noise is not a hum or a howl, its a light and constant clatter. it increases frequency and volume with wheel speed. front d/s was not engageed, just had the hubs locked... im not savvy enough to go back into and feel confident about fixing it on my own... i can def get to chucktown as is, but would want a vet to take a look at it before URE i think... Chuck? ill pay ya...

Did you feel any resistance on pinion when you tried to spin it initially with axles removed and fluid drained? It should spin maybe a turn or so. Kind of a ballpark. Just steal, I mean borrow, a low range from work mx boy!

Is the chatter constant or only on accel or decel?

How did your pattern look?
