There are some drops of oil on the catback and a little on the gas tank. Looked around the net and found that slowly leaking diff is very common on 99&01 cobras. Squeaking is most noticeable in 3rd & 4th gear at around 2-2500 rpms. Was only in his car for several minutes but I myself felt car wasn't accelerating properly. Anyone ever had this problem before with the 99&01 IRS <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>JohnB</b> <br /><small>Member # 969</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2012,10,13,20,44,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Most likely the diff is dry (out of oil) and bearings are seizing up. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>blown95svt</b> <br /><small>Member # 8893</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2012,10,13,21,19,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I wouldn't drive it, if it<br />Is a pinion bearing and it does decide to lock<br />Up and spin the race you may be looking for another center housing <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>cobraracer46</b> <br /><small>Member # 1142</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2012,10,17,16,2,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I recommend pulling the IRS pumpkin out of the car to fix the leak and then upgrading it with a Ford racing cover, eaton tru Trac, all new polyurethane bushings, new seals. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
