Lookatmyrust Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 so basically the right fount axle is loose. not just the cv joint but it is loose in the tranny. like i can move it and the steering wheel wobbles while driving. i have stopped driving and bought a 98 wagon.

Guessing you sheared the pin that holds the axle splines in the transmission. http://www.lovehorsepower.com/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=46&Itemid=62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lojasmo Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 its still drive though. power stil goes to the wheel. it has not fallen out of the tranny Probably wouldn't. The suspension components would hold it loosely in. Jack it up, put it on stands, get underneath, and have a friend pull on the wheel. If you see the axle mice in and out, the pin is sheared.

Lookatmyrust Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 i had it jacked up. i could only move it around when it was not on the ground. so if your right what do i need to buy? could the pin be broke cause of clutch dumps? i have an auto though.

Well, no then. As you could rock your wheel, there is a broken suspension part on that side that exerted enough force on the pin to shear it. You need to fix that, and replace the pin. Stop driving the car or you could wreck your tranny too. If you could move it around, the pin is out. Look at the link I posted. It is a complete axle replacement. http://www.lovehorsepower.com/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=46&Itemid=62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookatmyrust Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 but what if the spline sticking out of the transmission is moving. that what i think it is. it moves up and down and in and out.. and it still could be from clutch dumps. you ...can...drop it from N to d or one. these trannys are different from other autos i think.

johnegg Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 the stub axle is held into the trans/diff with a cir-clip on the end of the stub. they can pop in and out or the cir-clip can pop off and fall to the bottom of the front diff. but since there isn't enough room to remove the axle without disconnecting something at the hub. the stub is not going to pop out of the trans while driving. well maybe is a severe situation off roading but doubtful. you can jack upt the car and remove the axle. if the stub pops out replace the cir-clip and reinstall it. as long as the slop isn't in the rotational direction i wouldn't worry too much. items 11 and 14. link: http://opposedforces.com/parts/legacy/us_b11/type_45/train/differential_transmission/ http://static.opposedforces.com/epc_img/366494919002.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookatmyrust Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 so if the stub is loose do i gotta crack open the front diff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnegg Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 i don't know. but it would be easier to replace the whole trans. have you looked at another GT? to see how they compare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lojasmo Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 so if the stub is loose do i gotta crack open the front diff? No. (I think) Edit: upon closer inspection, probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TbirdMan Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Had this exact problem on my '95 impreza, only it actually popped out. I started feeling it clunk hard pulling up a hill and when i stopped it would not move at first and then it would hit hard when the rear drive engaged. long story short the circlip that holds it in was worn on one side and allowed it to slip out, i flipped the clip and popped it back in, all better. so no, you shouldn't have to open the diff. Side note: "clutch dumps" in an auto as you describe is what is usually called a neutral shift or neutral drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookatmyrust Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 I know. but but its bascially what it is. idk how these trannys do it but they do. its like they have a clutch that is just in or out when in d or n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookatmyrust Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 i got it torwn apart and i dont know what you talking about.. i see now clip,. i see the axle. the pin and i took of the out ring for that bearing are the baering looks fine. so i thought mabe it was just lose. so i put it back on till i could not turn the bear inside the diff houseing any farther. thinking the bearing was tight i put the alex on and the alex still moves in and out and up and down. do i need new rollors for that bearing cause i cant tighten out right far enough in the tranny to tighten the bearing.. got pic upon request Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnegg Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 if you didn't re-install part #10 EXACTLY the way it was, counting rotations as you removed it, you are screwed. you should only remove it if you count the rotations so you can reset it as it was. that ring cap sets the carrier bearing and mating position of the ring and pinion gears. the process to re-align it correctly is tricky. by over tightening it you have shifted the carrier towards the other side of the car and mis-aligned the gears. loosen it up a bit and drive it a little. if it sounds off, then adjust it a bit more one way or the other until it sounds right, like it was. i might even over loosen it after it sounds right, and test drive it, and then adjust back to the mid point of too loose and too tight. the actual process calls for getting the gear teeth to meet correctly, with the diffon and off of the trans until you get it right, and then tightening one side while loosening the other to offset the carrier just the right amount. good luck and i might start looking for a trans. is this on your new car?
