Hay lads the other day I finished my 5 speed conversion in my ke30 and I'm having a bit of a problem and don't no what it is??

When I go around a sharp coner and give it abit I hear a grinding nosie only around coners not in straight line's?? I think the nosie is from the box..

Hear are some things that it could be.

1. The car that I got the box out of had a jap diff and mine has a bw diff so the tail/s ends where different. The 5 speed tail/s was for a jap diff and mine dosent have a jap diff under her so the two tail/s didn't fit so I just used the longest that was 20mm short so that means that the tail/s was not all the way in the box could this be it???

2. Not enough oil??

3.gear box has shat its self??

4.or the clutch???

 

Plz help I don't have a clue............

Check you gearbox mounts, the rubber bit. if its broken, can cause funny noise. Had the same thing in my car.

Yeah there still good.

could it be cause I pulled the tail/s 20mm out of the box so that I could fit it??

I may be wrong but did you have to replace the tailshaft?? I was under the impression that there were different size shafts between rollas with Borg Warner diffs and Jap diffs. One is longer than the other. Does it seal into the box?? If not I would assume the oil has come out. Have you seen any oil stains from anywhere you park??

Hay l think there the same size but the jap diff has a totaly different stud paten to the bw diff.

It hasent drop any oil.

Well ill just keep driven it and if it stuff up it stuff up I have plenty off parts that I can get a hold of.

Cheers

Thanks for all the info guy's.

Wait a minute, you had to pull the tailshaft 20mm back on the splines to get it to mate up with the diff flange?
