in reply to: JJ's projects #81039You know what they say about opinionsâŚ. My opinion is you need to slow your axle speed. The faster your diff doing the centrifugal force throws the oil out and starves the fulcrums of oil. Only way to do that is bigger tires, changing the gear reduction, or slowing downâŚ.This is why I chose the big nut with the 1.26:1 gear reduction vs the small nut 1.4:1 ratio and why you need that 3.44 you did ring gear to drop your rpmâs. I was running 4.12 ring with .82 4th and the big nut with 215/75-15âs and running about 3600 @70. My trans was perfect before that horrible spring in moab and my stupidnessâŚ.when torn down,  it had 45k miles on it and my fulcrums still looked pretty damn good and still usableâŚ. I ran standard GL 4 stalube from Napa on that setupâŚMy new trans is same except I went with a .89 4th to help on the hills and trying the Amsoil synthetic that has the zinc and supposedly better âŚ. Weâll see how that is on the next service.

in reply to: Waynerâs slice #76069The âclean shopâ is a bay in my shop thatâs curtained off for making a mess or occasional painting.
I got it painted, still debating on stripes
I also built an exhaust and I think itâs now quieter than my A1 on the bus.
also got it all back together and windshield in, Soon as it warms up a little I wanna take it out and see how it does.

Ordered 7 pair afterwards.
in reply to: Waynerâs slice #74299Still working the day job, pays for my addictions.
the flying pic is from previous owner, I hope to find my balls by the time this car is ready to go out in the wild again so I can get my own flying shots.
got the car moved over to the clean shop and got it all sanded down, welded up some extra holes not needed, need to bodywork a couple spots and spot prime the big shit up.
still gotta figure out exhaust, maybe I have too high expectation, put a baffle in the stinger and combined with the super trap, didnât do a whole lot,  above 3k it gets rowdy loud, pretty sure the neighbors are going to hate me.in reply to: Utah Campouts – Ottinger Event 4/26/24! #74242This would be a fun trip but we already had plans for camping in lava for st paddyâsâŚbadgers b day is on st paddyâs, Rodney just had his 50th, and my bday is the next weekend⌠so weâre all gonna be partying up there.
in reply to: Waynerâs slice #74241Hey, sorry. Been busy playing this new role of grandpa the past couple months..
. In between that been doing what I can with the 5/1600 car. When I got it was told trans reverse was blown, thought it was the loose clutch tube. Got that welded solid again and it still was not happening⌠so got the trans apart and what it was was whoever built the trans machined the gear down where it slides on the fork (so it donât rub gears) and the gear jumped out of the fork, luckily the weddle gears are stronger than the stock reverse gear so just put in a new reverse gear and it all works nowâŚ. Need to get it out and drive it, but reverse engages now, it does barely touch in neutral, but if it stays on the fork Iâm good with that.
got some lights to finish up (added dot headlights and signals) figuring out the spot/flood and then itâs getting a Wayner special paint jobâŚ. Then I gotta figure exhaust, this high compression 1600 is a loud bitch with the s&s header with a super trap⌠thinking an a1 is in my future but not sure that will quiet it down enough to roll thru town.Â
