Hey all, Ive been hearing my diff whine for abit lately (VLCT) and has been throwing alot of single spinners. It also had the d ick saturday night and on the way home i was hearing a clunk clunk sound in syncro with my speed. I drove it today to show my bro and then all of a sudden it wouldn't drive in any gear. is my lsd f uked? and if so how much would some1 in sydney charge for a reco? thank you

Sounds more like gearbox... Dean

Possibly the clutch? That's how mine went, driving ok then started slipping until it wouldnt drive no more

its auto and had a reco mid last year and running a tranny cooler... i doubt it would be the box (hoping) ...

could be a few things. jack it up and see if the tailshaft spins. if it does spin then its something in the diff

anyone had this problem before???

mate it will be a piece of piss to diagnose. theres only a couple of things it will be. take it to a mechanic to check it if your unsure. theyed be a ******* to charge you to diagnose

I would say that the roll pin that holds the pin for the sun gears in the housing has sheared off, that pin has then started to come out and hit the pinion, which would give you the clunk clunk, until the pin moved far enough for a sun gear to drop out as benny01 said check to see if the shaft spins with the handbrake on. Also you could have snapped you're torque convertor bolts. Good luck.

^^when the roll pin holding it in comes out or get's damaged the sun gear pin slides out and it is in line with the pinion, iv'e had it happen before.

i put my car in drive with the handbrake up and got my neice to rev the car abit but i didnt see the tail shaft spin....any ideas??

I don't think it will spin with the handbrake on

It won't spin unless the car is moving or the wheels are spinning.

jack it up and put it in drive. It aint gonna go anywhere

true. then it will go somewhere

but the thing is the car doesnt go anywhere... like wateva gear i put it in it just revs out like its in neutral all gears incl reverse....

for ****ks sake put the back wheels on stands and put it in gear without the handbrake on. if the tailshaft spins then theres something wrong in the diff area and if it dont spin thens theres a g/box fault. maual or auto?? EASY

does sound like a diff it was single spinning but to not drive at all could be an auto. I'd be doing what Benny01 said. Good Luck...
