Well, last night we put in my 3.73s and the whole deal. The guy helping me had a hard time putting the spider gears back in with the new traction lock clucth packs, after putting smaller shims in until they went in. Now around corners there's a whine at high speeds, and a lower verison of that whine around town. He told me to drive it this weekend and tell him what happens. He done this before trust me (he's got a 10 second '89 coupe). But I was just wondering what your guy's inputs were. I'm thinking that there needs to be smaller shims between the clutch paskc and carrier. TIA

well it seem he has the backlash wrong and the side lash wrong as well driving it will only makes thing worse as your wearing a bad pattern on the ring/pinion..the noise isn't going away by driving it

But it only happens around corners. There's no whine or noise at all when going down the highway. The backlash (?), well, he set up a dial indicator to the ring gear and that was .011". Took forever to set up. The gears are definelty nice though, pulls hard and the newly built traction-lock is awesome. I think that's the problem as the spider gears went in so tight yet came out easy. Smaller shims behind the clutches?

well theres a break in period for a rear end, I am not sure how many miles, I just got my rear end done few weeks ago, It sure feels nice and tight. No play at all. Gotta love the traction with posi.

Yeah that new posi hooks up nice. I already put @ 170 miles on it since Friday, and it still does it.

did you add the small bottle of friction modifier in the rear end oil when you put the new diff together? this might be causing your whine.
