No idea, it would jerk to the right. If I turn it'll just rev and not go then I have to stop, once I start letting the clutch out it'll clunk and then grab. When it just revs my speedo goes up again the lsd shoes wheel spin. So after every turn I have to stop and start over. Doesn't make sense to me.

Going to dealer tomorrow so we will see.

New rear whines a bunch but I have car things to do this weekend. Et street s/s comes out after this weekend so I'm debating getting some Hoosiers or regular et street 2s. Hoosiers will be 236 with shipping. Thoughts on those on the street or would it blow my diff right away. Once whatever tire I get goes I'm getting street s/s

Forgot to update, but as it stands im told my motor has a melted piston, and trans is extremely notchy, and the rear diff needs to be replaced from the whine. Although the car has been at the dealer for 4 weeks and still sitting outside waiting to be worked on, 1 week was for me to make a decision which I don't mind.

What really sucks is after the motor and trans get fixed it'll go back to the other dealer that screwed up everything in the first place for the diff to be replaced since it's their fault. I really wish I could provide proof to them screwing up my motor and trans but there's no way.

Oh and their loaner was a complete pile of crap, $2k car tops so I had to borrow my girls car because I got far too annoyed to bring in a 70k car and get a 2k loaner lol. This car needs to find a ditch and gasoline so I can get a c6z.
