Great news!!! I thought Rich was going to start selling parts off it! Mine has been perfect since the repair. Our Tech definitely knows what he's doing! We'll have to get together sometime!
Norton: I agree with cgouzoulis. Diagnosing problems on the thread is sometimes flawed. Both our cars were new when this occurred. We both also have stock tire sizes and wheels. Always advisable to entertain all possibilities before taking action. He was just looking out fror the OP, which is what we're all about on this forum.

I have indeed, and all is well. I'm not one to do smokey, dump the clutch, burn outs but the car has visited the upper tac range a number of times after the repair. No problem at all.

good to know!!!!!! Mine seems better than when I first got it.... I tried to be nice to the car....but since the roads were cold and damp, I let the clutch out and the tires spun a litttle! lmao.... No throttle.lol It wasnt a burnout or anything, but I def felt the tires rotating back there. ahhhh I missed this car. I also did not feel as much driveline clunk as before... I did turn the wheel full chock and got no welded rear feel either..... Soooo, I would say*knock on wood* that all is fixed. I'll let you know for sure if it really is gonna be 55 and sunny on saturday!lol

PS: my car WAS doing that exact hop thing...got worse waiting for parts. After my rear was replaced all is good..... I also had this problem from day 1 as did 03reptile. I hope you do have a small issue, and not like mine:rockon:
