So, I've done my research and came up empty handed, hoping someone can share some insight or knowledge on what happened to my welded diff.
I managed to install it yesterday, Everything seems to work fine and once installed I can notice the tires moving at the same time. I decided to take it around the block and as I downshifted and made a turn (not to drift it just to make a turn) I hear a loud pop. Now every time I let the car decelerate it makes a very loud clacking noise and when I put my car in reverse it doesn't grab it just sounds like metal on metal and the car stays stationary. Any ideas on what Could have happened? The welds I could imagine are still good because the tires still spin at the same time, Maybe I missed something in the procedure? I had to remove the open diff and install the welded like I were installing a s15 lsd, Maybe I missed putting something back in?
Any insight or just ideas would be greatly apprecaited. Thanks again guys.
