<VV> VirtualVairs Digest, Vol 248, Issue 4

[Jeffrey Hennessey]

As a follow up to my differential issue. Jeff’s people at Corvair Ranch did a superb job getting a rebuilt differential to me. My car is at Competition Motors in Portsmouth, NH. 
The engine was removed, they discovered that the differential was, in fact sound. What the found was the center hub on my brand new clutch detached from the clutch. Has anyone experienced anything similar before? 
Thanks… Jeff Hennessey
