Not exactly, I was rear-ended before and my mom got t-boned at an intersection within 3 months. Although "they say" that your insurance doesnt rise if its not your fault, guess what, it still did. Insurance has to suck the money out of you from somewhere. Our deductible then became $1000 and I figured it would be cheaper to go out of pocket.

 

The humming could possibly be caused by the wheel bearing. back when i had a 93 BMW 325i i had this weird humming noise but it was only at like 50+ miles per hour and if i was turning at 50+ miles an hour it went away. The problem is that i think i remember you saying you got your wheel bearing replaced after your accident.

As far as the sluggishness goes. I would put money on the fact that its your differential. just puttin in my 2 cents.

 

check your mounts for your trans along with your rear diff connection...also do a double over on your suspension components

 

the two of you better watch it, take it to PM's if you have problems with each other

 

Agree with others that have basically said...
Bad vibration causing stress and/or now Effed up diff and/or trans output shaft. (could be seizing up which now taking alot of power to rotate those comonents or their own vibration now from their effed up bearings) and have suspension, alignment/caster/camber/toe/wheel bearings checked.

No flaming intended, but with you knowing about your driveshaft with all that play and vibration prior and driving it for awhile like that, you caused yourself much more problems and $$ now.
Hard lesson learned my friend.
G/L with everything.

 

I know bro, but I went thru a bit of rough times with investments that flopped, and then a job layoff, It wasnt good. The guys who installed my drive shaft at their shop (I was there observing under my car as well) , They said its either ECU or differential problems. The yolk of the damaged driveshaft that slides into the input shaft was perfectly intact and he said nothing was caused to the transmission. He most likely believes its the differential.

 

i would say the dif as well seems like it causing more resistance to turn the wheels now

 

Umph...when it rains it pours...sorry bout the other troubles. I can see why then you did what you had to do.
Good to know you knew better to drive it that way, but understand you had to until you could do something about it.
Guess get that diff checked out and hope its the problem and not too much $$.
Resetting the ECU, as you said you have, should've ruled out that as a possible problem imo, but I'm no guru in that department. So... for sure.

 

there really isn't anything you can do except do the "this bone is connected to the next bone" dance. You've gotten everything replaced/fixed up to your driveshaft, and there is still a problem, so now go onto the next component. Hopefully, you'll be done after the differential.

If you have to go further than the diff., change the song to, "this bone is connected to the bite the pillow bone" cause you're in for some good old fashioned prison style rape on your wallet.

 

tool

 

whos the tool?

 

Could the humming and buzzing be clutch chatter? And could it be that your clutch is slipping so you're not getting the power right away?

 

Everything I post gets deleted and I love it.

 

Naw I know the difference between clutch slippage and this. This is deff not clutch slippage. The car has been running better after the new driveshaft has been in, but its not 100% just yet.

 

at least you didn't get banned for posting a thread about foam.
