thats ussually caused by backlash in the diff, it could probably be taked to a shop and be shimmed to get the proper lash. won't be cheap though, unless you can take it out yourself to take it in.
easy way to check is to jack up the rear end, put it in neutral. then turn the drive shaft by hand while holding one of the axles.
if it feels like a fair bit of slack then thats your issue. |

| how bout that first gear whine? is that normal? i thoguht it was normal b4 maybe it had kinda straight cut gears or soemthin..b ut then i was driving beside another supra and that car had no whine |

| well if first is bad too, that could be from the tranny, although these cars are known for some noise they don't normally break unless its higher power. I would change the gear oil to redline or to GM synchromesh first, and then go from there if its still noisy. |

| well as long as nothign is going to shatter and float around in the tranny it should be good.. besides.. the whining soudns awesome in the parkade. i was jsut afraid it might be some bearings or somethin |

| ic an run gm synchromesh? isnt that liek atf? dont i have to use thick gear oil? |
|

| syncromesh is MTF. manual transmission oil. i use 75-90 redline iirc, should be the same for your car. |

| hmm okay i think i shoudl switch to the synchro mesh then i heard ppl say that stuff works miracles |

I would change the oil in your diff at the same time. It is only a little more oil and it will save your diff....most people do not know to change the diff oil every once in awhile.
If it does turn out to be a cooked diff...I just happen to have a spare that I could sell to a club member (hint www.supraclub.ca ) cheap. Fresh seals & oil this spring then I got a N/A diff to put in.
Let us know what it turns out to be...if you need a second opinion post up a time when you can meet up and we can look at it...we have broken & fixed just about everything on the cars, we can help. |
