yip yip pretty much exactly what mine did, even down to the placement of the cracks. hope you get it sorted though

[Patryn999]

Man, these diff's just don't like us. Had mine do the same (minus the casing) but pinion and crown were munched. Adam (the man, above) replaced it for me during a meet. Needless to say, I was stoked (for the help), and gutted that my poor car made such horrible clunking noises!

[taupodrifta]

when yours blew did you loose all drive in the car or could you still drive it? reason I ask when mine went I lost all drive and was thinking I still should have had some from the front wheels.

[Gly]

my first one i could still drive but made hell of a noise,

second one, locked up , and had to have the car taken home on a flat deck

depends how badly it brakes, if it can be moved,
basically if the rear diff locks up, it cant be moved under its own power,

[taupodrifta]

It didnt lock up I was able to line tow the car home which was only about 25 meters its just when it first happened I didnt know what it was and tried to dirve forward to pull over and had nothing engine just revd so I had to roll back down the hill and round corner to wait for tow. The reason I ask is I have read a couple threads where people have still been able to drive after diff blown and was fearful maybe something else has gone aswell ie gearbox transfer case

[elnevio]

Yep, mine could still be driven under its own power.

[taupodrifta]

ok well that sucks as I couldnt drive it all. So will have to get a new diff and see what happens from there. Lets hope I havent done the gearbox aswell. If I have will have to have a serious look into why I have blown gearbox and diff at the same time

I have a Type V diff here with axles if you want.

[scott.mohekey]

I have a couple of AYC diffs here. $500 for a diff.

[Mr.Salas]

I have a couple of AYC diffs here. $500 for a diff.

Stock AYC?

[taupodrifta]

well new diff in and working fine. Gone non-ayc. feels heaps different and ime so glad nothing else was wrong.

[Kenneth]

Good choice. LSD? If not, ask around rally shops and see if any of them have standard evo diffs that they no longer want. I picked up a brand new E9 one that way.
