Anyone know where the diff pins should poke through on the X-trans?

Damn, your car has more rust than my 92 does!

That leak should help coat the underside of your car to help stop more rust from forming.

The underside of my IX was insane too, and I even went to a wash with underbody spray weekly :(

So whats the plan with it? Sending it to jacks or having ron fix it?

It's in pieces at Ron's right now but I was thinking we'd get the pins from Buschur, slap it back together and call it a day....but I guess Buschur does not sell those pins anymore so we're talking to jack's, shep, etc to try and figure out a game plan. Prolly just use the revised 2010 pins.

Everything else in the trans looks minty fresh; I'm amazed that this thing had to come apart before my 1g did (66k miles spun input shaft bearing!) as that was my first dsm maintenance shock, but yea...screw it.

I've been looking back at my walbro 400 testing and thinking how food the car felt after being on pump gas for nearly a month and...I guess I just shook'em loose! I haven't launched the car or anything but lord knows I'm not nice to it...who knows. Guess this is what I get for planning on doing preventative maintenance.

I should have done this when I did the motor last year but damn, I was already shelling out $6k...that extra $900 I simply could not justify. All I know is I'm ordering a replacement CMC and keeping it handy, that's the only 'stupid X thing' that I've been ignoring/laughing at. Karma. Damn it.

I am on my 3rd CMC, keep the stock one as long as you can. If you haven't ordered the CMC yet I'd wait for AMS's to come out. THey are basically releasing one similar to the magnus but its perfectly flush...basically uber magnus one. I am sure its more expensive but my magnus one has never felt quite right, squeaks a bit, maybe I just need to bleed it.

Regardless, good luck with everything, hopefully you fix it and don't have problems ever again :)
