Reply to "Question about super-diffs"

ALB, Gordon, EDSNOVA, Danny & Stan:

First of all thanks for you help.

If I understood correctly, super-diffs are generally NOT noisier. I know "noisy" is relative, but my car does not sound "normal". Also, it is likely the mainshaft bearing is the source of the noise on deceleration.

I am in Hawaii and don't have much confidence in local transaxle builders. I would prefer to deal with a Rancho or similar. I'm thinking I may be better off just replacing the transaxle all together. Locally, parts & labor gets close to cost of a replacement and shipping.

As was mentioned, quality of parts varies. Can you suggest a transaxle builder who is competent and uses quality parts? As you probably noticed, transaxles are out of my wheelhouse, my knowledge is limited to removing and replacing.

I'm a cruiser, I don't rabbit on greenlights. It sounds like a transaxle like Gordon's would probably work for me.

Let me know your thoughts. Ewatub
