Thanks

Any ideas?

It seems that my transmission is slipping though. I loosened the slipper enough, tested it. It got about an inch and a half up before it started to slip.

I went through 2 back tires by stripping in the inside. Thought that was it, however, when the car gets hot, i can hear it spinning, but the wheels are hardly moving.

I took tranny out last night, took out the ball diff and inspected it, didnt see any damage at all.

Thank you both for the suggestions

I bought some stuff to rebuild my diff, going to try it tonight at the track and rebuild it after.

I noticed that when i spin my back wheel, the other side doesnt turn, but the spur and pinon spin.

Also, how do you tell when the slipper pad needs replacing? Mine seems new, but maybe after it heats up it starts to show its wear?
