    strange Viper diff leak?

    Excellent information! Thanks very much. This is what I thought and I'm gonna fix it tomorrow. I'm going over to a Ferrari Mechanic buddy's place. Should be good help as those guys are always fixing broken stuff. ;)

    strange Viper diff leak?

    in looking at the exploded view, it appear to me that my problem will be solved by removing the yoke and sealing the splines as mine is not leaking past the seal, but rather through the bolt threads. Also, is the preload set by shims? where torque is not the factor such as with the wheel races...

    strange Viper diff leak?

    Hmmm. I really need to see and exploded view or a cut away drawing. Anyone? Would not oil leak out between the yoke and the housing if the seal were bad? Mine is not. Also, my car appearantly has a lower rear end ratio installed prior to me owning it. Perhaps the person who modified it didn't...

    strange Viper diff leak?

    Hello, My 1997 GTS has a small diff leak. The oil looks to be leaking from the threads of the nut that holds on the driveshaft yoke and then is flung by the spinning yoke all over. It is not coming from the seal between the diff housing and the sheild. Anyone else have this problem? Do...

    Want to tour the USA in my GTS. Suggestions?

    Hello all, I have come to a point in my life that I want to do some soul searching. I'm thinking of going on an old school drive across the country with little planned and not much of a schedule in my 97 GTS. I live in Ohio, so given the time of year I'll probably want to go south and...

    New Viper is my favorite car. Special license plate.

    Thanks guys. I'm not much worried about Ferraris. The vast majority of those guys can't drive. I used to be a Ferrari mechanic and know the marque well as well as the general cross section of owners. They deserve a little heckling. IMO. I still respect the cars, but am having WAY to much...

    New Viper is my favorite car. Special license plate.

    Hello Guys, Recently I bought a 97 GTS, blue and white, with nice some mods. I must say that out of all the cars I have owned, driven and or raced(ranging from Ferraris to Can-Am cars, etc, etc.) This darn Dodge is my favorite. It is beautifull, fast, sounds pretty, doesn't break (knock on...

    97 GTS difficult to engage 6 gear?

    What is the deal with warrentees on our cars. I assume that while they are low mileage, there is a time limit that ran out a long time ago? As for my issue. If you double clutch, it slips right into 6th. It never grinds otherwise though. Does anyone think it is possible that my 6th gear could...

    97 GTS difficult to engage 6 gear?

    Yes, my car has a better rear end ratio so 6th is helpfull for highway. Today I spent more time in the car and as far as the 6th gear engage goes, I find that if you slip it out of 5th without the clutch and let the R's fall to the proper place for 6th, then use the clutch to engage 6th that it...

    97 GTS difficult to engage 6 gear?

    Hello All, I finally bought my first Viper. I am a road racer and restore vintage race cars. My car is a 97 GTS, blue with white stripes. The car has a short shift kit already on it, although I don't yet know which one. Trouble is that while it engages all gears perfectly and the...
