Pulled the drivetrain (takes an hour, lots of dry breaks/quick disconnects) for some refreshing and check the dogbox for wear. While it was out, figured I'd test fit a future build.
Old: k24a2 (sleeved, forged bits, 700ish hp) with a quaife dogbox.
Future: 07k (plan: forged bits, 700hp) with a 02Q.
The kseries sounds meh. I want noise that matches the car's looks.
Found a transmission for cheap. Seller says no issues. When I get there, it's caked in oil, dirt, etc.
Get it home, pressure wash it, see the JB weld and mixing stick embedded in... "Oh, that's a thing"
Opened the case, found it JUST touching the gearset.
Good thing I only need it for mocking up a drivetrain swap.
At the last track event, my haltech was cutting power due to low oil pressure at a few corners. Decided it was time to pull the bearings to verify there were all there.
I don't have a lot of experience reading bearings, but what am I looking at? Also, can I just throw some new standard sized bearings in and send it... Or should I go oversized?
