clicking sound in rear/ slipper cluth area

[driftjumpcrawl91]

i was bashing around a parking lot toady, when i started to notice a loud clicking sound coming from the rear, i took the rear end off and left the slipper clutch in, and spun the front wheels, watching the it spin i saw that the spurgear was warped, or maybe the whole thing is warp, not sure, but could this be the reason for the sound. aslo in the rear diff theres a little clicking sound, the rear doesnt feel smooth when turning the wheels. im told it could be a chipped gear. any input would be nice

usually when i get a clicking sound its something stuck in the spur gear, like a small rock or small sticks

Koda is correct! I would check the teeth in your spur gear for debris.

yupp, it was dirt, a freind of mine saw it, i look and i couldnt see it, thats a huge relief cuz i thought something was going to need replacing

I had that problems just last week and it turned out I had a bent drive shaft that was wearing the main bearing out. Was kinda bummed at first but it turned out to be a pretty easy fix.

I just heard the same clicking noise after a test session at my local track. I took the slipper clutch out and inspected the spur gear. The spur gear had a wobble to it and three teeth had been worn down. Hopefully all that is needed is a new spur gear. So I ordered the 50 and 54 tooth spurs.

also, sometimes when i have my mesh set incorrect the worn plastic can build up in the teeth and get stuck

check the bearing that the bearing/clutch shaft rides on too; those are OH so common to fail; they take a lot of abuse, not to mention the dust and dirt that get jammed into them
