Well maybe...
Pass side axle started leaking Sunday. Swapped in another new seal, old one seemed to have a small knick in it. However the new seal is leaking. After some taling to Darryl...and some internet searching by him. We came up with a thread on DSMTalk where a guy got a bad axle that wouldn't stop leaking. He replaced the seal 3 time and it wouldn't stop leaking, swapped in another axle and it was fine. Off to Advance again and see if they'll give me another to try. Anybody else had a similiar experience?/ -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

Anybody else had a similiar experience?/ haven't, but could easily see that happening. Take a Micrometer with you if you have one, and mic out both axles where the seal sits to see if there's a difference. Also can make sure it's perfectly round that way. -------------------- 1978 Mustang II King Cobra

Looks like I solved the problem (finger crossed).
The axle that was in there had a sealing surface of 1.614" in dia. The axle I picked up today has a dia of 1.378"!! The bigger axle had pushed the seal into the case when I tapped it in to get the c-clip to seat. I should have known better. So I got the round friggin axle from Advance! They said they would swap it no charge but what a pain in the a$$. Drove my daughter to softball tonight and no leaks. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

Got the gears sets rebuilted after eating a couple of gears. I can't get a bearing race out of the trans for the input shaft so I said screw it and assembled the old stock trans with upgraded shift forks I bought from Darryl.
Got the old trans installed and at least the cars running right now and maybe I can finish breaking in the new clutch and have some fun with the car. Took it out today and seems to be running pretty good. Need to find my logger and see how the tune is. My autometer shift light seems to have taken a dump. Goes off randomly between 3000 and where ever the shift pill is. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

Took the Talon out to check the launch rpm on the stutter with the new clutch/flywheel combo. Left at 5800, spun all four tires and first gear exploded after about 15 feet. By the looks of the tires tracks, the front wheels started hopping and the shock load must have destroyed first. I've got my other trans to put together but it'll be tough to make the CSS Street car challange and defend my belt...8(

I did manage to get it to the CSS Street Car Challange. Alternator bolt sheared of on the drive down. Luckily I carry an extra alternator when I got to the track. Didn't have the correct bolt, but a little redneck engineering got me running again.
Only ran a best of 12.79 but was fighting wheel hop all day and didn't want to blow another trans.
