Ring Gear?!?!?!

flamed 98 gt · February 5th, 2009, 05:03 PM

Just had a bolt break off while changing the diff. There are still 9 bolts that will hold it on. Ok to run or not? I talked to a big time drag racer and he said that it would be fine. I guess I am looking for a second on it.

big time drag racer huh? i guess that means he has had 9 bolts in instead of 10?
is the threads of the bolt still in there? more than likely your gonna wind up trying it like it is anyway

get it out and fix it before it (potentially) causes other problems

flamed 98 gt · February 5th, 2009, 07:24 PM

Well I tried to use an easy out and it broke. I just went and bought some 3.73's and drop down from the 4.10's maybe it will help me out some at the track.

93hatch · February 5th, 2009, 07:25 PM

when i switched from 3.73s to 4.10s it did zero to my trap speed, i did run 2/10s faster though but that was just cuz i cut a .10 second better 60' time

flamed 98 gt · February 5th, 2009, 07:28 PM

Well in the 1/8th I am going into 4th right before the finish. I figure if I can stay in 3rd it will save me some time.

93hatch · February 5th, 2009, 07:29 PM

WTF on a t5?

93hatch · February 5th, 2009, 07:29 PM

how fuckin fast are you trappin?

flamed 98 gt · February 5th, 2009, 08:04 PM

Yep on a t-5. I spin all of first most if second and part of third and it runs 7.7x @ 94.

93hatch · February 5th, 2009, 08:08 PM

lololol ok your cars a lil faster than i thought so it makes sense now

91cobra5.0 · February 5th, 2009, 08:13 PM

you should really find out what made the bolt vibrate out? bad shimming of the gear? or unbalaned driveshaft? make sure that when u put it back together that u use heavy duty locktite on the bolts going into the ring

91cobra5.0 · February 5th, 2009, 08:32 PM

flamed 98 gt · February 5th, 2009, 08:35 PM

I am going to 33 spline axles and a spool. I seem to twist the stock ones in half..

M L Struck · February 5th, 2009, 08:35 PM

is the ez out still in the bolt?

flamed 98 gt · February 5th, 2009, 08:39 PM

Yep. It broke off in it.

M L Struck · February 5th, 2009, 08:42 PM

how deep is the ez-out can you use center punch and hammer to move the ez out back and forth is it broke off flush?

flamed 98 gt · February 5th, 2009, 09:29 PM

When I get some time going to try and remove it. Then sell the gears since I dont need them anymore.
