4 speed ka-booom !

Yes I seen the Mark Williams caps for $105 plus I have to take them like you said to have them worked over or something. by that time I would start thinking about just getting a nodular case from dr. Dif for $300 with billet caps. Then by the time I had to buy new gears new bearings new axles new spool and all the other stuff. I decided to just go with the Dana 60 have already bought a Dana 60 with 410 gears that I can use for $160. You can see my thread on the racers part of the forum called " budget Dana 60".
And if you don't fix the clutch, you'll be busting up the D60. You can keep throwing parts at it, but the clutch will kill it. I know. I was doing it before you were born.

So what did we learn from this thread?

That you have to be PC or Jpar will ignore you and not read the entire post.
Expertise is based on length of time on a forum and number of posts.
No matter what, some have to learn the hard way.

For the money you are spending on the rear end, you could have bought a sof-lok or similar.

I'm waiting for the busted parts so I can say i told you so.

I'm hoping that others who read this thread will learn that is stick shift racing. the clutch is NUMBER 1. Diaphram pressure plates, psuedo-sintered iron discs and voodoo won't get it done. Neither will a screen door dampener. There is a difference between slipping a clutch and mechanically controlling how fast the disc/input/driveshaft get to crankspeed. Sometimes you need to stop buying parts and spend some time learning.

If this hurts any feeling it's not meant to. This is big boy stuff. If you want to be lied to, that's on you.
