So my car has been making some weird noises and need some help!!! (inside)
Took it to my indy shop and the owner drove it around for 3 days before he finally got it to make the noise. He said he is speculating it is the spider gears inside my rear differential. Does anyone know what kind of noises the spider gears will make when going bad?? I only ask b/c my noise is so goddamn hard to explain. It starts off w/ a loud whirling sound and then progress's to what sounds like a wheel bearing going, usually only does it in 3rd and 4th, when lift foot off the gas, also doesn't stop when clutch is depressed so don't think its the drive shaft or anything related to the tranny?? Ideas and help??!!!??
TIA

Where in MI are you located? I'm in Bloomfield/Rochester area. What Indy shop are you using?
you might want to see if VAST in Ferndale can help you. The owner is a friend of mine who has been servicing my car for about 6 years... All maintenance, all performance upgrades, etc.

Don't quite understand your logic...
"usually only does it in 3rd and 4th" suggests a trans. problem, doesn't it?
"also doesn't stop when clutch is depressed so don't think its the drive shaft or anything related to the tranny" -- Why not? Everything aft of the clutch is all hard-connected, so it could still be any part of the drivetrain.
Hope this helps.

I'm over in Grand Rapids, west side of state. I have been meaning to go see Mike or Prince
as I plan on using them for doing my TB and going stage 3, but I can't justify cruising two hours down there sounding like a typical paranoid audi owner saying i have this weird noise coming from my car. Also, the noise seems to stop once the car warms up and runs on the freeway, so they'd have to keep it over night so it gets cold and its my DD.
Right now, I am using Eurotech in Holland. Matt the owner is great and he immediately identified another weird sound I was having when we went for a little ride. Ever heard of them?

Sorry, didn't know that about the driveshaft. Today, it also did it in 2nd, and I don't think it is
the driveshaft as I just replaced it w/ a brand new rebuilt drive shaft.
