Ek4 weird gearbox whiring noise

[Spoon-Accord]

ahhh. i took mine apart tonight and found....

inside the diff itself, spider gears decided to let loose, bits of teeth from spurs found on Mr.magnet
other then this damage, everything else in the gearbox looks like it has just been rebuild, all syncro's,hubs,gears,sync rings are new, not even a mark on them

might just drop in an OBX helical LSD and see how that goes

[Vvvtec]

well, thats a semi good result at least. yOU GET ANY PICS?

I'd think twice before getting an OBX. If you want helical, try and get your hands on OEM, otherwise MFactory make a decent unit. Here's a pretty comprehensive writeup on the "quality" of the OBX centres: http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/5783...e-with-pixors/

Wavetrac make a pretty good unit as well

KAAZ would be better due to jdm

OBX shits on everything else in the market atm

[grifty]

Don't even think about getting a OBX, it's a hit and miss majority being a miss. Very poor quality

OP needs to decide whether you want plate/clutch or helical and then go from there.

might go for an mfactory helical.

just wanted to make sure it pops right in without modifying or altering

[e240]

It will be a plug and play unit.

The diff cups where the drive shaft enters, ended up breaking, for some unknown and damaged this part of the case, luckily this part is just under the bearing cutout




The four cutouts on the diff cups are sharp, like it was been chipped or broken off, the broken off pieces ended up damaging the case in the pictures up above




Culprit of it all!
