Rx7 Series5/t Diff

[90degrees]

Im not sure what the go is i have heard the diff knocking a few times when under power in a straight line, even when not under power but a hard turn gently acceleratin, ???
Rx7 is practically stock, besides the suspension (been lowered on cusco adjs).

any information would be handy.. thx

you have broken your front diff mount.... to many hard launches or clutch kicks ...

i have a picture of my diff mounts of you want, i just pulled it out, i broke all 3 mounts at collie on my fc...

Fc's are a bit of a pain to pull the diffs out of too, frnt diff mounts are expensive to fix too, think rotos charge around 550 to replace one..

that is why it is good to have spares... or you can get them welded into solid mounts, but they you will need to re-inforce the mount of the subframe too.. the ride is pretty rough too...

you can still drive with a broken mount, the diff clunks heaps though, and bounces around in the subframe a bit... i raced for 2 days at collie with a stuffed mount...

these mounts are extremely common to break btw, if you are doing drifting or drag racing.....

you going to be drifting your FC?, going to be up at wanerroo next weekend?

ha, well, my master cylinder for my clutch went last night.. drove from myaree to como without lol, must be havin the worst run ever... Do you kno of somewhere cheap i could find one? And also where on the gearbox its located?

[Wezz]

its located on the firewall in the engine bay.

I dunno anyone that has one, ring around some wreckers, shouldnt be too hard to find one...

i am looking to get mine rebuild soonish as it cant cope with the twin plate...

[90degrees]

a rebuilt clutch cylinder? My dads runing 9 puck ceramic clutch and hasnt had a problem with anything, bar the few neck jars...

mine went while on a cruz had no brakes! cost round $250 to fix! also blew

my diff which was a grand to fix

[Nemi]

did you do the master or the slave ?
master is on the firewall the slave down on the gearbox

both items are easily fixed with a seal kit
Perth Brake Parts are a good start for rebuild costs

wouldn't hurt to pull them both off and put seal kits in them though.

In my experience a master leak will result in a slow loss of clutch fluid.
Slave failure will result in sudden failure with a loss of fluid.
