So basically my friend got a nice GGSX. All stock, OEM service it's whole life. Doctor owned.
The clutch slipped so he got a new GGSX clutch kit.
New rear main seal.
Surfaced the flywheel.
Reinstalled, drove and the car went great.
He calls me up next day and says "The car is slipping".
I go over there, we take a ride. It's slipping but no smell, at all. No smoke.
Adjust the clutch pedal looser (Did the Pedal Weld repair BTW) because we figure its pushing the clutch in, dragging it and not disengaging all the way.
It works for reverse, but then he put it in 1st and heard a big clunking bang from the trans.
We roll it into the garage.
While changing the slave cylinder, I turn the P/S wheel.
It catches, clunks then spins free with all the other wheels planted.
Did he break the Center or front diff? VC?
Can other W5 parts fit into the GGSX trans?
This very failure actually happened to 638/1000 and is what made me give up and sell it. I never bothered to find out what broke.
Now it happened to my buddies car, and I'm the one who convinced him to get it! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif
