wow i didnt know they change your curse words lol

 

ok here is the update... driver side axle and trans needs to be replaced. im a lil sceptikal about the trans so i told them to just replace the axle. they arent aloud to do that since my car still isnt "safe" to drive with the trans how it is. Also they said with all my modifications that it voids my warranty and i have to pay for everything

 

how many miles do you have on it?

 

By law you only have to pay for issues they can prove were caused by your mods. It is illegal to "void" a warranty and has been for years.

 

They can, however, deny you warranty if they can prove sufficiently that you raced it. If it broke while racing, you should be paying for it anyway.

As far as the tranny, if you drive it right, you should not be tearing it up, so replacing with stock should be fine.

And again, the car will not drive with a broken axle. I am curious to see what they say is wrong with the axle.

 

yeah, pretty sure i said that already.

yes, in theory they have to prove that your parts caused the failure.... but in reality, when you get to the dealer, they just tell you its no covered and to go "F" yourself. so what u gonna do then? call 1800 77 Scion? yeah, good luck. they'll just assign you an arbitration case, which will take MONTHS before you even have one hearing.

and even if u win arbitration, its not binding, so they can just appeal it and start the process all over.

u really wanna go thru all that?? when, u don't have to be a genius to know that if a kid is putting aftermarket parts (power adders like headers) on his car, chances are he is probably racing it. and when something that F'd up like your tranny going happens, there is little doubt as to the cause.

 

yeah i have a header, intake, oh yeah and nitrous lol....i dont mind paying for the axle but no way am i gonna buy a whole new trans..screw that

 

probably stripped your splines on the halfshaft so it is wiggling in the coupler and on a right turn the clicking you hear is the halfshaft being pushed in.

 

dude, u might as well cough up a little xtra for a trans u know isn't damaged. they're already going to have the subframe and trans dropped to get at the axle. it would really suck to pay for all that labor, then have your trans go out, and have to go back and pay for all the labor all over again.

i'm still doubting the axle explanation, especially if the car drives. A bad axle wouldn't really cause vibrations like you described.

 

they cant force you to get it fixed there, have it towed to another shop for a second opinion...however with nitrous your gonna be sol on warrantee probably

 

sepatc do dont have to drop your subframe and trans to get your axle out. ive pulled my trans out without dropping subframe but im just gonna get a used trans for like 300

 

good luck fixing the problem man

 

Good luck man

 

ummm....you also F'd up your car. whats your point? i'd say its time to let the professionals who actually know what they're doing take over.

 

I would have to see you get the tranny completely out of the car without dropping the subframe. If you did get it out, you probably would have actually spent less time overall had you dropped the subframe. In my experience, trying to work around things typically takes much longer in the end. If you have ever worked on any part of a Quad 4, you know what I mean

 

I have to ask since I will be running NOS in the future. What size shot were you running? What brand?

Good luck to you in your repairs.

 

hey thanks alot sepatc. you helped out big time. but number2 i have a nos sniper kit running a 75 shot, i use a arming switch with a mechanical wot switch under my pedal. ive also got a bottle warmer and a window switch but the window switch isnt in yet.

 

oh wow sry guys...i got my car back and it runs alot better but i still do get sum vibration but its only at 60 mph but i am gonna get a new trans and maybe with sum luck im gonna get a lsd with it haha. im gonna buy the trans used but it wont be broken like my lol. total cost of everything was 640

 

What RPM were you spraying in? If your window switch isnt hooked up your going to be spraying the whole time your at WOT thats your problem right there

 

i dont know what ur talking about blue tc sorry could you explain a lil better
