3rd broken driveaxle and bad VLSD tranny

so uhmmm.....

3rd driveaxle snaps tonite..uhmm. while im reversing near my house. SOmething is wrong...juss dunno what

oh and we tested the LSD cause recently when i lauch i get much more wheelspin and it seems only the right wheel is spinning. ANyways, put it in gear and since its LSD, the wheels should turn in same direction, now it turns in opposite direction like an open differential would. sucks...everything always breaks. technically i still have waranty from Nissan since it was a brand new tranny but so much trouble...

yea too many probs its not worth it.


I dont think the driveaxle would have broke on I-5 tho.

Luckily for me i now keep a spare driveaxle in stock. otherwise i would have been SOL and not be able to go Stillen.

i dunno

it always seems like it breaks in the same point/area. LSD doesnt work either so im guessing when the axle broke somehow the clutches in the tranny got burnt up or sumthin.
