Another Drive Train Issue

[noyb98098]

My center differential keeps locking up on my MT between the front/rear drive pinion and the transmission gear. But I cant figure out why.. Any suggestions? Also, this was driven on the pavement when it happened.

I have seen this if the set screws on the brake pad are out to far. The brake will hang and make you think it is the drivetrain gears.

Will check that this AM. Almost a perfect run until this happened!

That was it. Adjusting them now.. Thanks!

Sprint stole my thunder lol, I have "seen" that also. My fix was to take the grub screws out and replace them with allen head bolts. There is a problem with this fix though, when the rotors wear down adjustments can only be made by putting in longer allen bolts. I am going to get some longer grub screws and put a nylock nut in front of them locking them in place till adjustments are necessary.

Seems my issues was that they were vibrating out forcing the lock down on the breaks, I put some blueloctite on'em so we'll see if they'll hold.

That was the issue I was having as well I didn't know how well loctite would work becuase the grub screws aren't getting any torque at all just sitting in there basically loose.

After 20mins with the MT in the dirt I had zero issues with the brakes. Loctite seems to be holding them in there.

Yeah flintmans car is where I got the info from. I just thought with Flintman's weird work hours you might be scratching a hole in your head trying to figure it out before flint got a look at the thread. Thanks for verifying the info flint, lets try to learn these new kids right. LOL
