In the sierra bible.

Took the xaust out, not sure if it was neceserry but only took a few min and had to have made it easier.

Haha gottit - weld em on - tighten them up problem solved!

Ill try your other idea probably first though and see if I can replicate - I suspect I will be able to...bummer

So if it was the diff, I can pull the center out and look for obvious signs, if its a no show would re-installing the locrite ...

I have read through a bunch of other articles about similar 'sounds' coming from the rear and it looks like there are a couple of possible causes. Since I don't exactly know much of the terminology was hoping that someone could narrow it down a bit further and advise on some checks. It is a 97 coily ...

regular jack does fine with a rubber block. Why not go to a local mechanic, I asked if i could borrow two for a weekend, bought him a case of beer!

Two is worth it if you can get em, just take it slow, and if the body stops moving, stop everything, walk around the car, check brake lines, cables ...

Ah cheers guys for the advice! Looking too close to Christmas now, so might give it a bash still.

Was a fun drive home, though the carby was more of an issue than the diff.

that's a pretty big bend BTW.

I know :cry: Serves me right I guess.

I called 2 mechanics who said they wouldn't know what to-do. And the local engineering joint don't feel comfortable fatiguing it.

Thanks for the advice guys, ill peruse more engineering joints today and use bending it back ...

Not sure if this helps, and IMO it looks worse in real life. Going to attempt to bend it back tomorrow night unless anyone strongly advises otherwise.

Thanks spamwell, and I should forget attempting to bend it back?

Ok awesome, sounds like something I should of done a week ago.

What kind of diffs can I throw on the front of a 96 coily sierra. Only other coily diffs? Im worried it may be hard to get another coily diff, specially from pick 'n' payless.

Danke!

Hey all,
Was up playing on the dunes and got a bit ahead of myself coming down a dune. Sorta resulted in a face plant of sorts in the sand. On closer inspection it seems like I have put a lovely bend in my front diff on the left hand side. It is very noticeable and has caused a nice slant to the ...

I jotted down a list of things i learnt when i replaced my clutch. (which covers 99% of what your going to experience. Its in the bible somewhere "How to...."

If i new that before i started it would have been alot easier....eg jamming a screwdriver into the flywheel to torque up the clutch housing ...

Ok, as much as I understand the reasoning behind putting effort in, before you expect other to. Really, all forums suffer from this. Including people asking the same question over and over again which I believe is a bigger problem.

Now some of you went of at a guy who posted something along the ...

Ride wise they are acceptable, not going to be the comfiest thing you have driven, but I make it about 4hours before i have to get out and shake a leg.

Though my soft top is loud as hell, that gets bloody annoying, specially if your trying to have a conversation. Otherwise, go buy a nice loud ...

Hahaha, how do i turf this lil man out, im afriad my coily sounds alot like that :(

Just a rebuild kit, will that cover it or do i go shopping for a vit?

Can someone try and explain to me the sound in noobish terms? Iv got a 96 coily and im just worried that this may be the sound im hearing when cold!

Change, more lift and i assume the rubber is there for a reason, perhaps to soften the stress on the body? Im speaking out of my ass here.

iv made the vectors for this if you want them....so you can print them in any colour you want, then laser cut.

Was this the one the presenters referred to it as a jeep?
B.

It will buff right out....

Horribly off topic here and sorry to the topic starter but, the bible is a bit of a pain to use, has outer's considered starting a wiki? I would suggest it is run via outers themself, so they pull advertising revenue still, otherwise contact me and ill sort it out on one of my servers. (not trying ...

If it breaks there's a r chance it could smash its way into the cabin or hit the ground and lever the car onto its roof.

Don't do it. These are a precision part - the rebate and spigot on the yoke and flange are pretty critical. I wouldn't even use alloy, let alone nylon.

Steve.

Just to ...

So im a noob when it comes to zooks, but, going of my sierra its the sender that is currently the bottle neck. So would say chances are that would be where the business is at. Dunno, but jaycar might sell a digital fuel sender kit? If I wasnt in the middle of exams at the moment i would fab you a ...

Besides the fact that this isn't exactly legal, but you can pick up GPS units for less than $100, that give a actual read out of your speed. Just use that all the time? Not sure how much a digital speedo is, but it would have to be about $70, unless you made it yourself....$20 or so.

May as well replace the throw out bearing (comes with exceedy clutches)

Search 'uni's', if 'clunk' doesn't come up with anything. GL.

Dex made this for me. Rear arms are more squarish and come down lower to sit flush with the rear tray. Is plated from under the wheel arches and rear tray with 6mm plate. Havnt had to use it yet.

Yeah I think photo's would be great. It would be awesome to see others do howto's as well on other things. Like vicelores body lift one will be great in a couple of weeks for me. And doing the clutch myself saved over $800. It took about 20 min to write up, would be cool to see others :P Might save ...

Ok, so me and a mate replaced the clutch on my Sierra (96 Coily) on the weekend, and thought, seen as though we didn’t have any idea going into the job, that I would write a list of steps that WE did, which seemed to have worked in this instance. Please feel free to correct me where I went wrong ...

Well, its all on, and works beautifully. Was a bit of a pain getting the cable back on tight...

Thanks for all your help guys, wish I had taken more photo's, but if anyone else has any questions im pretty sure I can answer alot of them now...

Ok, so the clutch is all out, flywheel is of ready to be machened tomorrow. Should the engine be really loose now the gearbox has been removed. It is extremely loose, and can be moved around easily from the flywheel.

Cheers,
