oh, i see now if i have the car with 3.23 auto and the 3.42 manual, then i already have that shaft? but other wise i would need that shaft? or aleast i can use it... lol, that part wasnt all that clear in your ebay auction.

Oh, I thought it was and never had a question on it but I guess it could be made more clear.

oh, you know what i miss read you auction post... im sorry, it is acctually clear as day... lol, the numbers threw me off and that just f-ed me all up i thought it was something like if you had higher gears then that then the shaft wouldnt work right on your car or something :S i donno, those numbers just messed me all up.

Formula, wouold i be able to use one? When mine was off during the swap, it was fu****** brown, rusted as the way around. Know there is a whine/grinding noise coming from the tranny/driveshaft area. Makes the noise while in park, so i know it's not the rear, i think something loose down there, but i think i will get on one your shafts in the future

.

Yeah, the shafts will fit your car and I would check your torque converter bolts, you may have a loose one or you could very well have a broken tranny mount if that hasn't been changed in a while.

That i will do.

my tranny mount was busted in 2, i just replaced it and it was making a funny noise because the tranny would hit the exhaust and it would rumble everywhere. but its all good now cause i replaced the mount.

oh and usually trucks rear ends will whine. so if you swapped your rear with a truck thats why. its cause there gears are cut flat cause its stronger or something. and its easy to change the rear end fluid. i did it in about 2 hours i think. the hardest part is filling it up. the gear oil needs to have a tube on the bottle lol. would make life easier.

Naw, rear came from 94 Trans Am (wish i could of taking his car instead

). Yeah, my pops basically cut some rubber hose, small enough to fit in the hole, and dumped it in that way. Tranny mounts are porbably broke, gotta check when i get home. Should of saw how much shit under was broken, but the under carriage looks very f***** good for an 87, there is barely any rust.

yeah 92zcamaroperson.. my 90 iroc has the same rear end as yours i believe.. 10 bolt 3.23 posi. I also hear a whine back there but usually when im on the highway.. not really on the street.. a friend of mine said it could be the clutches.. Not sure what those are.. but hopefully the whining isnt a bad thing.. I just got the car so i dont know how its suppose to sound.. did yours do that all along? or just start doing it.?

Formula, maybe a little of topic, got any connections to where i could get some 87-92 GTA Rims for cheap? Looking for some and have asked around, but everyone one wants around $600 for them, no tire included.

wrightz28 · #42 08-03-2005, 05:30 PM

Link, That's about average for open market.

On topic, I have some hum, but it's only when coasting light throttle and 3.73 is sing'n away

Linx, I sent you a PM. I don't want to have this thread be about me anymore than it already has been. I don't allow other members to post there items for sale in here and will respect my own rules.

FormulaLT1 · #44 08-03-2005, 06:04 PM

Also a hum or light metalic rasping sound could be nothing more than your posi additive wore down cause it hasn't been changed in a while or it could be from your clutch pack in your posi rear end is worn and will probably fail soon. Either way a fluid change with posi additive will buy you some time if not fix the problem all together. This is ofcourse unless your running gears rich in nickel which usually are noisey regardless of what you do.
