Wow! Amazing content on your channel. I'm resisting the urge to ask about the airplane in your shop. I'm also an aviation guy who was thinking about going experimental. So.... my 2000 C5 is at 101K and I've been hearing a clunking/clicking noise when I first start letting out the clutch and the car starts moving. It sounds like the noise is all the way aft. Definitely not coming from the clutch or TT. I'm also having some shifting issues I won't get into so it's a lil bit complicated. I suspect the noise is from the diff. Any thoughts?? Btw, love the donut in the beginning. 😂
Thank you, I definitely have a few hobbies. The airplane is a Hummel Ultracruiser and I have a few videos of it on here. The clicking noise on the Vette could be the axle splines where they go through the rear hub. When they get dry they tend to click on takeoff especially if the axle nut has worked loose. Could also be the CV joints on the axle itself. The clutches in the diff won't be moving unless you take off while making a turn. Could be a bad bearing in the diff but that is rare. The spring washers in the diff probably are broken like mine were but that wasn't causing any noise.
My C5 Diff oil came out looking like it never been changed, dark brown verry thick, and fine metal dust. Should I flush it or pull it out and clean/check?
Did you check to see if the clutches were good? If they are good I'd probably flush it and go as long as it's not making any weird noise. If the clutches check bad then pull it and repair. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SHBR32x8Tes.htmlsi=RhMYf4cAROu5llTB
@@xpsgarage My whole car a 2000 base C5 is sitting up on a two post hoist on while I work away at it. There was a meshing sound that's gone a bit since I drained it, I don't got a torque rod to check. It's the 3:15 Diff on a 4l60E. As for cleaning is brake cleaner ok to spray into the fill hole and use compressed air to flush it?
@@exoticspeedefy7916 Brake cleaner won't hurt anything but I'm not sure how much you will get cleaned out. You could fill it full of diesel fuel, rotate the gears a few times and drain it back out. However you do it, I would suggest changing the gear oil again in a few thousand miles.
