89 MJ Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 Well, it snowed for the first time over the weekend. Good gracious this car starts great, even in the cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89 MJ Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 Update, I hate D35s! Wellllllllllllllll, I was driving to school today when, after pulling away from the stop sign near my house, I hear a horrendous grinding noise. I pulled over to turn around to go home. It was a pretty tight driveway so I had to back into it to turn around because I didn’t want to back onto the highway. When I put it back in drive, now we have neutral and a terrible squealing noise. Turns out, the D35 (or probably an AMC35) rear just decided to give out. Perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Ouch. It should be an AMC35 still. I can’t remember but the differences between the two are subtle. I remember watching a video about it with the guy also working on his Eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89 MJ Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 I think I know the difference, just from looking at both axles. I think the AMC35 has a big nut right at the center of the brake drum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neohic Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Find yourself an 8.25 from an XJ to put under it. That 35 you’ve got with the big nut at the hub is a two piece axle and needs to be put out of its misery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a goal for the car for next summer right there. I have really considered getting a grille guard though because I really don’t want anything to happen to the front of this car.

These cars actually do have an AMC35 under them, it’s nearly identical to a D35 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
