Let's see driveline issues:

Tranny case split...replaced the tranny.
Transfer case leaking...replaced T-case with tranny from same car.
UV joints in prop shaft making noise...replaced all three.

That's about it for the driveline issues I knew of.

Hey Kenny,
Do you have any idea how many miles that tranny and t-case had? Or if it had ever been rebuilt?

How do I know which one it is? I looked and there's didn't seem to be anything looking like a valve. Would anyone happen to have a pic?
You can't miss it. its right near the down pipe & transfer-case.

I would start looking at the center diff as we said before.:cool:

Your center diff is broke and you are now front wheel drive. That or your xfer case and driveshaft fell off somewhere.

Holy shit I damn near fell out of my chair after reading that!

I just checked mine yesterday when I was working on my Laser's clutch issues. You'll find it RK.

But you know, now that I think about it?!?!?! You really should find another flamidation valve and swap it out before you go any further. Or you'll just be wasting our time and yours. :cool:

I think there is a Vfaq or Tuners tech article explaining the swap.

Yeah, I read that VFAQ when we swapped that 6 bolt in my friends 2G. We broke off the valve when we were swapping the engine. Good thing it was an easy fix!

With LED's and neons, why even bother with driving the car? Just pose in a parking lot with the door propped open and your leg hanging out! Any plans for a larger turbo to go along with those 650cc fuel injectors?

Neons can be what causes the flamidation valve go to bad in the first place. The frequency of the fluorescent light can cause a partial interference with the natural frequency of the flux capacitor on the flamidation valve leading to valve failure. I wish I could find the damn Vfaq on this, it spells out this issue quite well and includes pictures.
