    So alot of people know I blew up my diff in my tranny and now that its all done for some reason it feels like I may have not put the cv axel in the tranny all the way. Is it possible or would it be worse? The tranny kinda grinds just alittle from a slow accel and stops. And also when going around a corner it slips and the traction light goes on. It will slip sometimes when I floor it from a 30 and it downshifts. But will do it off and on. I know that most of the time if its a bad tranny its gonna slip all the time not just randomly. Ive had the car wot to like 100 and it was perfectly fine but than I floor it from a 30 and it slips sometimes and around corners the most. Is it possible that the axel isnt in all the way?

    Double check fluid level aswell.

    Low fluid can cause a slip around a hard corner.

    Being that you had a recent diff failure, then an engine failure..

    Why the eff are you sending me pm's saying you are flooring it around corners? Get your driverside axle to seat all the way.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    I would expect if you axle wasn't seated enough to cause a "slip" it would be leaking a lot from the seal. Also when one axle is not splined in to the trans its not going to drive. I would tend to think the slip on corners and down shift is low fluid like five said. The grinding is probably unrelated. As for the traction light coming on when turning I would think a wheel speed harness is starting to break. What happened to your final drive anyhow? Did you just replace it or did you also completely tear down the trans and replace the internal gear as well?

    After that it was fine flooring it and stuff, didnt do anything bad. Than 2 days later the engine blew (ironic) and I swapped it. Well now its slipping and all this.
    Is it possible that havin only 1 upper engine mount could cause that?

    Remember yesterday the pm's you sent me about the dipstick being tough to read and asking is 7 or 8 quarts about right.

    Well yeah.. somewhere in that area.. but depending on how much came out.. that's going to affect how much needs to go in. I once had a diff out and pan off for a week waiting on a part. Now a pan drop should be about 7.5 quarts according to what they usually take for a service. I put in 10 quarts that time to get the level correct.

    If your dipstick doesn't work, get another. You need to check the level to know what the level is.
