O.K. I've sold my Hawk slabside and bought an old TVR...can I still panhandle advices?? BTW the selling of the slab had nothing else than economical reasons as it is a superb car.
So here I am with that little english two seaters that had a v-8 transplant and am in the phase of bugging it out now.
The differential (4HA) is a nightmare as when the car is engaging turns both wheels at the rear tend to actually brake...I mean brake not making small cling-clung noise! Altough I haven't tried it yet on the road (snow around here) it seems it could just be a pain and dangerous even to drive.It is a 3.55 with a posi mechanism from what I can see (I've opened the backcover yesterday and that what it looks to be).
There are no appearant mechanical reasons ,out of the diff, to do this: no U-joints rubbing,no handbrake dragging.
I have just put in the
oil formula as follow: 2 cans of 114 ml. GM additive with 75-90 Castrol Syntech for a total of 1.7 litres. Of course the miracle did not happen and it still does it.
The fellow who sold it to me say he installed new clutch plates and till they wear-off that is how it will work...making sense? My Hawk had a similar diff.,maybe a more recent one, and was just as smooth as it can be.
Is it possible ,tecnically speaking, to have such a differential but locking it definitly?? the ex-owner was a dragging fan!
I would appreciate all suggestions,
thank you, Ronald.
