Guest dannyboy107 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Could be anything from broken drive shaft, broken diff, broken clutch...what ever it is doesnt sound good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 sounds like diff to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bredmond Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I am right in saying that if it was the drive shaft or the cv joint it would affect the diff as well ? as the light on the dashboard for the slip comes on when I try to drive it....

pedrosixfour Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I've a 4.08 final gear ratio available if its of any use to you dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzki Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I'm guessing that the slip control light would come on whether it was the driveshaft, diff, clutch uj, halfshaft, splines.....anything. as the ecu is seeing drive exiting the gearbox but is getting no reading from the wheel sensors......that said if it was a cllutch then I'd imagine that it wouldn't care either way as it wouldn't see anything from the no1 speed sensor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mike6187 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 (edited) Originally posted by: bredmond Hi Guys, Hopefully you might be able to help or at leaSt point me in the right direction ?? Im not sure what the problem is but I think it may be the driveshaft or the U joint or something ??? Wont know till later as the car broke down on me last night and its going to the garage this morning. For awhile now Ive had a clunking noice when changing gears and taking off etc but last night it just gave a shot and now the car wont move ! It goes into gear and all fine but it wont budge at all, just grinds and makes an rotten noise like its in pain It seems like its from the left rear but Im also hearing a noise in the very centre of the car ? Has anyone had this problem before or maybe know what it is ?? Really appreciate it It could be a bad universal joint and the best way to check is just to pop out the drive shaft and check them. You might notice a lot of rust around the bearing surfaces which indicates the bearings are dry and U joint replacement is needed. Rusted,sloppy,or frozen U joint will have to be replaced.

Chris Wilson Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 (edited) My best guess is the splines in the rear wheel hub on one side have stripped and it's trying to drive on one wheel while the other drive shaft just turns fairly freely. Hence the slip control light as it thinks it's got terrible wheel spin Edited October 6, 2010 by Chris Wilson Punctuation (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Doom Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 How did worn bushes stop the whole car from moving?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2soops Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 What bushes could you change in 20 minutes anyway!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bredmond Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Sorry lads, The above reply was meant for another Forum where my gf's car felt like it needed to be tracked in the rear but wasnt the case. The bushes in the tie rod arm were gone/worn so just replaced the arm -30 minutes max my mechanic did it in... The above problem on the Supra was the CV joint after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
