Over revving issue

[Speedfreak]

Regardless if they rotate or not, I'd set them to the locations that the piston manufacturer suggests.. as if you were putting them on for the first time.

Got the tranny partially apart. So far nothing has stood out as being an obvious issue, which is good I suppose.

Someone mentioned the Viscous coupling maybe being bad. How can I check that?

Also, after seeing all of this, does anything stand out thus far as being the reason that the car felt like the clutch was slipping really bad? What would have caused that, because the clutch looks to be just fine.

Here's a few pics. I was taking tons of pictures, because when it comes time to put this thing back together, I want some pictures to look at to make sure it's right :)

Yea, with a non-lsd tranny and a broke axle, the other axle/wheel isn't going to get shit for power sent to it.

^^^Beat me to it!

I didn't take the time to read but wouldn't you're snapped axle be the cause of all you're slipping?

While your transmission is apart you should take the opportunity to add a Phantom Grip (or TRE's equivalent called the RIPGRIP).

I had BM Tranny's version of it in my 1G FWD and it actually made a very noticeable difference.

Dumb question, but again I'm not a drivetrain guru what-so-ever. How does the broken axle, make the car feel like a slipping clutch. Not just shit for power, but slipping clutch? I would hit it in 1st and the RPM's would just race up, then I'd let off and they'd go back down to the RPM you'd expect them to be at?

Stolen from the interwebs...

A Standard limited slip diff, as fitted to the
majority of cars allows the two driven wheels to rotate at different speeds while delivering the same torque to each wheel. The wheels need to travel at different speeds when the car is cornering as the outside wheel has to travel a greater distance than the inside wheel.

This system works fine in most daily driving situations but this system has faults which will become more apparent on slippery surfaces. For example when driving on snow, one wheel may have little or no traction and hence the torque created is negligible and as the diff
transmits the torque 50/50 between the two wheels, the other wheel gets 50% of next to nothing which is why the car will not move forward.

Watch the video's of MAP trying to go 9's (or 10's can't remember) in their blue 1g. They snapped the rear axle twice and the car would just rev up like a slipping clutch would.

So since the one wheel had a snapped axle, it was like the "slipping wheel in snow". So the torque is very little. So the other front wheel also got little to no torque correct? Makes sense.

But what I still don't understand, is the "slipping". What was slipping? It wasn't just that there was no torque, the thing free-revved like a slipping clutch. That is what I don't understand, and wish I understood.
