grinding when stopping - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

i just did a driveshaft swap (non abs alum. DF into a abs diff... it fits fine) and when ever I come to a stop (doesn't matter if i'm in gear or not) i get a really harsh grinding/vibrating noise coming from diff/driveshaft/transmission. It did not do this before the swap. The first thing I would point would be the driveshaft, but I SilviaFreak did it with no problem and mine seem to fit as well. I put it more tranny fluid and still.

Any help would be great.

BTW: I did a B&M shortshifter swap as well.

what brand shaft is it and try unbolting it turning it 180 degrees and bolt it back on

is it when you let off the gas and the grinding kind of comes in waves?

cause I have aluminum driveshaft and B&M shortshift too, and it makes that noise as well.

I think its the shifter, cause I've heard other people talking about it.

i think your talking more about a humming?

This is when I come to a complete stop. Its sounds like the pressure of the driveshaft against the tranny is rubbing too hard. But what I don't get is why doesn't it do that the whole time i'm driving. And it only happends after a while of drive, never when I first start the car.
