Car Heals Itself

Now this goes down as one of the strangest things I have ever had happen.

For those who have taken a ride in the noisy Red Beast (2002 red bugeye) trying to help me identify the mysterious whine.

Well it dissapeared on my way home from Milwuakee, the car got so quiet it freaked me out. I was just waiting for the parts to go flying out the back end of the car at any minute. But NO nothing happened, even after some spirited driving through Mpls the gremlins stayed away. Mark thinks it might have been the carrier bearing getting hung up some how or crap in it, although I can't imagine how that could have happened

I was sooooo close to ordering a 05 trans but hesitated after speaking to Mark Utecht, thanks!!

I will be driving up to Duluth with my fingers crossed tomorrow, wish me luck.

Yeah mine still make noise, but Timshow rode in my car and said it is quieter that his friend Brandon's so that made me feel a little better ...

 

good work mike lol

 

The calm before the storm.....

 

I didn't think it was bad at all, however I do understand how it can drive you crazy waiting for something to break.

 

Driftin said it was a tail house bearing and that it wont get messy for a long time.

 

Car heals itself? boy, I want that technology on my car.

 

Mike - prepare for the blowup and buy my 07.

 

:biggrin:

 

Gee, you aren't being pushy or anything are you?

Gimme yo brakes.

 

Well, Mike called me and said it happened. The trans shelled this morning. Cat ass trofic failure. He has already begun the search for a new pail o'cogs.

I was very puzzled by the disappearance of the noise. I call dibs on the autopsy. No fair lettin' someone else in there first as they will contaminate the crime scene!

 

I'd quote myself, but I already have once.

Its still for saaaaaaale.

I'd just love to see it go to someone who will appreciate it. *COUGH* Mike *COUGH*

 

Yeah, but he's got taste (coughWagoncough)

Sorry. Had to do it.

I too would be curious to see the results of the autopsy.

 

Just to be clear, the whine went away for a few days and then it blew up?

WOW, WRX1 called that one.

 

I called it first.

 

For all of those that called it well done. Yes it happened diff goes boom this morning, luckily I made it into Tonka Subaru, thanks to everyone for helping me out.

Now I need to find a Tranny quick.

Shibbs, I would love to have your car, just don't have the funds.

 

That sucks, Mike.

I was just about to post and tell you that the ecu "learned" to fix itsef.

 

Thanks Tom

Now its time to drop in the 05 trans and new axels.

 

hey Mike.. when are you around home???? and sorry to hear it...

 

buy my tranny then you can Launch like a pro.

 

I don't think Mike is interested in a slushbox.

 

Launching is not a problem for us, our clutch went 110k miles. Not real sure why the bearing went out in the center diff. From what I read this is a know issue.
