Yes, I'll fix it for you. Again.
Default

NO WAY.

So, after getting my car running last night with the new trans and diff I drove it around for a few miles and everything seemed OK.

Today, I drove it about 20 miles and upon reaching my destination found oil dripping fast....I checked the level, put some more in, and proceeded towards the nearest store....I got maybe 500 feet and then the racket started. Basically that same sound it had before only under driveline load, only this time with no load added.

It took about 0.3 secs to realize the motor was toast. Just got it towed home (thanks AAA Plus). So, the motor was going after all.....

If I do a rebuild, I will not be going for power and mods, I would want to get it back to factory spec, or at least spec with updated components if available. Not really interested in messing with hybrid motor stuff.

All I have right now are images of Scott's WRX flashing through my head.....
