yeah, it should just slide on. I would contact AE and get a replacement outdrive. I had no issues with the diff build.

Gentlemen:

AE Tech indicated lack of machining on the diff shaft. So a bit of file work and lots of soap and water should be ok.
Hope the supply of parts for the B5M improves.
Thanks for your advice.

It appears as though the CVA is running into the thrust T nut on the diff... But I am concerned about over tightening my diff as I seemed to have gotten it set correctly per the sticky on the top of the forum.

According to the manual I should be able to tighten it "until the spring is fully compressed" which should resolve my issue, but I don't want to damage the diff balls. Anyone else run into this issue? And suggestions? I considered sanding down the t nut as well.
Are you sure you put the diff together correctly? The spring and t-nut has to go on the diff half with the male bearing boss.

Car improved on the lap times as well..

If anyone is experiencing similar issues give a little less rear toe a try .
Hmmm, I had thought everyone was going to the 0* anti-squat?

I ususally start out white-white-red like the manual. If you go up to white-red-red it gives more initial punch which I normally only use if there are big jumps.

GTI a few are trying, but most still use 1 degree.

0 anti squat may have only made my ride more tippy .

Sides you seen the size of the big jump we are having to clear ?

Think it's 26ft ...

I would chuck it up in a drill and lightly sand it until the bearing slips on.

99% sure it is assembled correctly, the diff feels great up until the CVAs go into it...

What is a "male bearing boss"?

Are there any pictures of the new layout and this monster jump? Maybe Anthony has a video up somewhere?

the male diff half is the side with a hard shaft, hence male...The female side has a hole...need I say more? Often people put the thrust in the wrong outdrive and this causes issues like you describe. We all know the dangers of thrusting on the wrong hole

Thanks Ridge! Looks like a fun (and narrow!) track. Was interesting to watch Tanner drive his MM car as it seemed to drive very "square", almost like a RM.
