its an 88 NA convertible and it has a welded diff , just adding engine didn't break or overheat its still strong. car now at the mechanic garage will be worked on next week. can i get ahead opinions from you .. thanks

 

Is that noise I hear at the end you trying to get the trans in gear? If so, sounds like you blew the clutch or the clutch hydraulics failed.

 

Blew up the Clutch plate real good Son!

 

should be able to look from underneath into bellhousing and see the carnage

 

no it shifted fine, that noise was every time i press on the gas and the car attempts to move a little!

 

i looked underneath and nothing was touching the ground

 

He didn't say there would be. He means lift you car up and look in the bell housing. (i.e. the dome looking part of the transmission that bolts to the back of the engine.) That's where your clutch is. . . . . or whatever's left of it if that is what happened. (The video wont actually load for me)

 

Lol that made me cringe. Sorry to hear that. Good luck with the mechanic!

 

Sounds like that 'welded' dif decided to unweld itself.

Something to do though is to get the rear end up into the air and try and move the wheels with the car out of gear, then again with it in gear. Its obviously not engine related as the motor still 'sounded' healthy, and ive never had a motor that made that aweful screeching when running on 1 rotor.

lol..

car now at the mechanics i will update this thread once it get checked on this week..
thanks for your help.

 

Dang man, that really sux. I hope it doesn't cost u too much. Lol
Hopefully it gets fixed soon.

 

Does it make that sound in every gear?
If its every gear its gonna be the clutch or the rear end.

If its only 1 gear that does it, you probably stripped it.

 

ok so i got the news from the mechanic shop and what happened is the differential broke badly and pushed the axles outward. now we bought a used differential and car is back running but she is gonna stay a commuter

thanks everyone for your help and i advice welding the differential is not a good idea or at least not all cars.

 

Welding a diff on a street car is crazy anyways!
My Buddy's kid welded a diff on his Dodge truck,and it let go...the Rear wheel flew right off,and rolled down a Hill and into the Canal!...never to be seen again.
The Crazy thing about it is the Kid drive HOME on 3 wheels!!!!

 

dont trust anyone to weld that diff!

 

just anyone*

 

I thought my differntial was broken, but now I think mine is good. Thanks for that video! Glad your back on the road!

 

How is the rx7 coming along
