  • torsen noise?

    I took out my 3.08 open rear end and put in a 3.42 with the torsen. Swap went pretty good, but the rear is making some noise. Its not whinning, and its not very loud. I guess the best way to describe it is that its just louder than the old one. I figured having more gears in there might be a little louder, but I didnt no if it was normal or not. Are you suppose to hear it at all? It only had 54k miles on it and was out of a 2002. I changed the fluid before i put it in and used royal purple. Just curious if something is wrong with it or if this is kinda normal. Thanks.

    Mine has always made some sort of "road noise" type noise since I've had the car. I've changed fluid in it twice and everything looks fine, just a few shavings on the magnet first time I did it.
