Just got some wonderful news...

Ke^in · March 29th, 2010, 11:23 AM

Rear end is probably shot. Not sure if it's the whole rear, or just the internals yet. I know I didn't really push it hard. I never even did a burn-out in the thing. I have a feeling the guy I bought it off of sold it knowing it was about to go.

Bastards. I haven't even had it a year. Not sure what to do next. Not sure If I just want to sell it instead of putting money into another freaking rear.

Just kinda frustrated right now.

SteviGX · March 29th, 2010, 11:32 AM

Build it if you like the car. If you aren't attached to it just get one outta the junkyard and sell it

AzSonicSnake · March 29th, 2010, 11:33 AM

whats wrong with it? i bought mine with noisey gears, no biggie. i had a new set put in. not the end of the world. makes for a perfect time to upgrade!!!!

Ke^in · March 29th, 2010, 11:34 AM

They are saying the housing isn't probably usable either.

AzSonicSnake · March 29th, 2010, 11:38 AM

whats wrong with it? what happened? lacking alotta details here...

SteviGX · March 29th, 2010, 11:38 AM

what in the world happened?

dcook_14 · March 29th, 2010, 11:46 AM

Breaking parts isn't a bad thing, it gives you a nice excuse to get better parts.

I'll sell you my stocker if you want it

Ke^in · March 29th, 2010, 11:48 AM

Not sure. They said they couldn't work on it. He wasn't sure if it was just the insides or the housing. I got to find someone to look at it that isn't part of a stealership. It's nothing I did to it.

The took the cover off and said it was a mess. I haven't been driving it much the past 4 months because of winter. And only had it for 4 months before that. I sure as heck didn't abuse it in that time.

How much?

LAWNDART02 · March 29th, 2010, 11:50 AM

Does it still drive?

Ke^in · March 29th, 2010, 11:51 AM

Yes, but it makes a noise. And has a smell.

93hatch · March 29th, 2010, 11:51 AM

Pull the cover off yourself, theyre just out for money

Yeah.. I could probably do that but I don't have the skills to even see what would be wrong. Sorry. :/

And the place isn't out for money. They told me they couldn't do the work.

Ke^in · March 29th, 2010, 11:55 AM

I found a rear end to a 2001 (Mines a 2002) with no bids and no reserve and the big is set at $100 as the lowest.

Hope no one bids on it

*yeah I know fat chance*

sharkbait · March 29th, 2010, 11:57 AM

Kevin, i will be purchusing a new rear with 3.73s soon for a grand total of a wapping 300 bucks. Really its no big deal. Look on craigslist and buy a new one. Calm it down

So do I...

My guess is you've got a leak on the cover, lost some fluid, toasted some stuff.

Not the end of the world-
Take it to a transmission shop and see what they say. My guess is you'll need a new diff ($<300).
Great time to upgrade and throw in some gears...

I am not "uncalm" just disappointed. The craigslist around here stinks. I found something on Ebay I am looking at right now. we will see.

AzSonicSnake · March 29th, 2010, 12:11 PM

meh. it could be much worse. not like its a rod knock or something. i have not owned a stang yet that i have not had to put money in the rear end...

dcook_14 · March 29th, 2010, 12:12 PM

Shoot me an offer I guess. I was looking for like $600 but that's with all the control arms, shocks, springs, spindles, brakes and everything with it. I could part it out for you... probably not much of a market for stuff like shocks and springs, but I bet I could sell the spindles and brakes to some fox guys looking to swap to 5 lug if you were interested in the housing and center section

Ke^in · March 29th, 2010, 12:20 PM

I am just interested in housing and center section actually. All that for $600 isn't a bad deal. But I don't need all that, and I don't have the time to part it out right now. :/
