f*ckin aggrivated

alright, my super shimkit got here this morning, so i go out to the garage happy that im finally gonna get my car off the damn jack stands, so i fish the posi up in there, put the shims in there, and theres like 1/4 or so of an inch of play, i was told nothin should change since im just puttin the posi in, i didnt move the pinion, well i dont think i did, im comin in here to write this to cool off, the unit got stuck in there and i cant get it out, i do not have a dial indicator here, so i was wondering if i could bang the pinion up a little get and be able to get by with that, any suggestions, this is the first time ive done this

you can put shims behind the pinion and move it towards the rear of the car to adjust your play, but you cant go too far. i know this is pain in the dick man, but ur gonna have to start over. get the pinion depth set in the general area, i know you dont have a depth micrometer but just get it close. then use different thickness washers to move carrier left and right. once you get your free play set to within a few thousenths of an inch, pull it all back apart and and adjust you pinion depth until the free play is gone. you dont want it too tight cause it will bind under pressure, but you dont want it too lose or it'll whine. or i think you can get a shim that goes under the ring gear too, but again you'll end up moving the pinion or moving the carrier. hope that helps

i had it as faras it ould go, noqw the fuckin think is stuck!, i jus broke the handle to my sledge, i cannot get it out, shit like this jus makes me wanna pull the hoe rearof the fuckin carnout

[ridge_runner]

how can i say this... i had it as far to left left it would go with the shim kit

[ridge_runner]

well i jus got the b*tch out and i just noticed with the gear on the new posi unit, the gear sits about a half on an inch lower then the stock one, how should i adjust this problem??

[4onFloor]

what gear are ya talkin about?
also, what ring and pinion ratio did it have and what ratio are you putting in

[68chevelle]

im not sure if i understand this correctly, but did you get the correct posie for it. there are different series carriers for different rings sizes. the thickness of the ring changes when you get to a sertain point and then they change change where it sits on the carrier to compensate for that. so if you have the a certain combination,(the wrong ones, but one way it ring will sit way to close and the other it will sit way to far away from the pinion), then the ring will be wa to close to the pinion to go in.

if ur carrier is getting stuck in the rear end it sounds like the races are to big for the mains. i need to know what carrier and possi unit ur using and what their out of. i'm assuming ur car came with open 2:73's? if it did, then you have or had a 2 series carrier and you need a ring and pinion for a 2 series carrier. if your using a carrier out of a blazer or something then that would be a 3 series carrier, and i'm not sure it'll fit in ur rearend.

[ridge_runner]

i dont think its the right one now, the dude said it was for a 10 bolt 7.5, i accidently pushed the axle shaft in and i spun it to see it if would the diff and its too small, imsoo fuckin pissed, i jus cam in for a drink, im pullin the hole fuggin axle out now, screw it

[ridge_runner]

nah, its a brand new torsen posi unit, the gears are i say 3.42s, and yes it was an open rear

[68chevelle]

oh yeah, one other thing i thought of. what size rings do those year camaros have. cuz if you got it out of an older something with a bigger ring and you have a rearend with a smaller ring then the carrier wont fit. like you have a 7.5 you cant use a posi out of a 8.2 or 8.5 rearend. it must be for that 7.5 rearend. now if you have a bigger one, like an 8.5 the bigest of the 10-bolts, you can use a smaller one. (you just have to use the smaller posi along with the ring set from a the smaller rearend also).

[4onFloor]

3:42 is 3 series carrier. probly not fit ur rearend. if it's a torsion unit it's probly a 28 spline unit, and i think you have 26 spline axles. where's 89IROC he knows his shit about torsion units

[ridge_runner]

yea he does, he helped me with this earlier lol, i jus dropped the rear so it will be alot easier to work with

[89IROC&RS]

ridge runner, what year camaro you got???? cuz if its a torsen, (Which i congradulate you on getting ) you have to have the 89-2002 28 spline axles for it to work. 88 and before camaros have 26 spline axles, that wont mesh.

[ridge_runner]

fucker.. i have a 85, man im pissed now, that dude lied to me, he said it would work on all camaros and that is was 26 spline, i shoulda looked at it closer, damnit
