  1. I hear this happening more and more over the past few years. Rear diffs fail after a while, sometimes.
  2. Front differential. LGT 3.272 OBXT 3.5xx or something like that. Key point is it's different. You would at minimum need to at minimum keep the original front diff ring and pinion with the car, or you're going to tear up your center diff quick. IF those are the only differences, then you'll be alright. VBs are the same, most internal parts are definitely the same, center diffs are the same, but some people I've worked with have ended up in hell trying to get mispatched parts to work, so do so at your own risk, after pouring over a split screen pullup of every part number for each trans that you can find. Just my $0.02 Or just get the rear diff ring and pinion or total assembly to match. As long as they match you are likely good. I don't know whether you would throw codes or the various speed sensors feeding the various CAN modules (ABS & Trans) would leave you alone after they talk to each other.
  3. There's nothing wrong with resetting the TCU, it's just that 95% of the time it accomplishes no added benefit after it is done making learning adjustments. I do not know what is wrong here. VB could indeed be defective. All VB bolts should be torqued to 80in-lbs (NOT ft-lbs), and trans fluid level should be verified while hot, engine running, after car has completed a full hot/cold drive cycle and cooldown, as I have seen a perfect level drop as much as a full quart.
  4. Amazing work being done here, very impressive. Hope you guys get pretty far into disassembly.
  5. Completely on board, just messaged utc_pyro about details of getting it shipped. Should take under two weeks.
  6. snow05gtRI is most likely on the right track. The problem is most likely with either your tune or your engine. The transmission isn't going to stall your engine. I could write a 10,000 words about why, but I think you get the point. The ECU is being fed some data that is outside of desired operating range at idle. Load, MAF, MAP, something is off.
  7. How many miles? Sounds like you already know what to do to fix it. 2008s usually are pretty reliable, not sure what's going on with yours.
  8. Following up on your direct message so it's out there for public record: If you put it back together with the same clutch pack, or use new OEM frictions in the same config as what you had, then you do not need to re-shim. Re-shimming the center diff clutch is a giant pain unless you've done that kind of thing many times.
  9. I never bought them, as I realized you would have to do some serious modifications to the two knuckle caliper mounts. Wouldn't just be a simple bracket, the knuckle mounting is too intrusive. I've got F40 style brembos on that will be fine. You would need a mill and even then...
  10. I've seen this a lot in various forms. It's likely related to the engine. So many support issues I've seen with the 5EAT have been resolved with something as simple as an engine vacuum leak. I do not know what the exact mechanism is, but it's the ECU sending incorrect signals to the TCU. ECU itself is fine, problem is an input somewhere is not what the TCU wants to see at certain moments, such as during your bad shift. The solenoids are easy to change, just one torx bolt and gently pulling it out (plastic held secure by two o-rings). They are now also easy to find, and not terribly expensive. Just make sure you don't buy one of questionable origin, as with any aftermarket replacement part. What was your CEL Code? Not P0700, but the next code, something like P0741. Let's first double check that you replaced the correct solenoid... PM me too about this, happy to help. For a time I really came to dread dealing with my LGT and all things related, but I'm in a better place now and I am starting to enjoy it again. Might be on here a bit more often
  11. It likely won't do anything, exceptions are rare. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/5eat-free-ssm-thread-151177.html Change the fluid until it's fresh. Lucas Trans Fix might help depending on the mode of failure.
  12. From what I have read, not even the Cadillac 4-pots fit under these, do they?
  13. Now the question is whether the "I want a six piston caliper brembo to fit under 18" wheels" people are serious or are just expressing their generalized interest...
