  1. Any advise on the drive shaft slip yoke. Grease inside on the spines? nothing in the FSM on reinstallation.
  2. Thank you, buttoning up the trans re-install wanted to make sure. Not a job I want to do again.
  3. Hi All, Happy New Year! wasn't smart enough to take a photo of vent tube arrow direction on the 5 peed trans, assume pointing to the rear like the diff? Also I'm not seeing any service data in the FSM for the drive shaft slip yoke. Should it be greased? Thanks,
  4. Congrats, Thank you for detailing your journey, your details have helped many along the way. Good luck with the parts developed through the process, all great solutions. Now get out and drive her. Cheers!
  5. Yes, Pilot bushing, see pic.
  6. All is new, fork, springs both , ball etc.. and all was intact when I removed the trans yesterday, nothing was lose or fell out of the bell housing. Questioning the length of the bearing sleeve as there are different lengths and not sure of the math behind flywheel circumference = bearing sleeve length. Thanks.
  7. Hi All, Happy New Year. New rebuilt engine with throw out bearing noise (knocking, rattle) with clutch in neutral (pedal out), clutch pedal depressed noise goes away. L28 with a close ratio 5 speed (80-83) Non turbo car. New action clutch, lighten fly wheel. I have all three length sleeve's (38,31,28 mm). The sleeve installed is the correct length for the trans (38mm) but maybe not the fly wheel circumference. Hoping someone has done the math. Flywheel 15.24 cm Radius = 95.756 cm circumference. Thank you,
  8. Hilarious, experienced all the same issues minus DBW. Really cool he documented the process, it's a journey. Congrats on the coil bracket.
  9. All, Thanks for the info. Dropped the R200 in the car, your are correct, the driver side side axle is shorter than the passenger side. Installed the short axle in the CLSD, engaged flush and installed in the car. never run a clutch diff before. Are there better oils and weights to run in a CLSD? Spent the dollars on Red Line 75-90 w full syn for the open diff but not sure this is correct for the clutch unit? Any help would be welcome. Thanks again.
  10. Thank you for info. Will locate the correct sub's. CLSD R200 diff came from a large parts sale. Someone may have mixed parts and installed the incorrect sub's into the carrier to sell as a complete diff.
  11. Thank you, removing a R200 3.9 open, I'll check the sub lengths on this diff.
  12. Both axles are the same length on this diff. we flopped them just to make sure, same result, driver side sits out.
  13. Yes, sub axles. Driver side sitting 3/16" outside the carrier side versus the passenger side which is flush to the carrier side.. Explanation was due to the internal spacers.
  14. Had a local gear shop (recommended in the Z community) rebuild a R200 LSD (clutch style) 3.7. picked up the diff and noticed the driver side yoke was not sitting flush with outside edge of the side seal. Passenger side was flush to the outside edge of the seal. Can tug on the yoke by hand and it pop's out. It engages the clip but is not solid in place. Passenger side needs a slide hammer puller. Took a mic measurement inside the carrier to the clip the diver side is just under a 3/16" shorter to the clip. Both yokes are the same length swapped the yokes no change in diver side, clip in style yokes. The shop has suggested this is due to the carrier offset? assume internal spacers? Running Z Car Garage CV axles. Anyone experience this issue? Under the cars weight and load should I worry about the yoke pop out?
