Reply to "Brand new differential in my car’s ZF transaxle"

I have zero lunging issues and can drive my Pantera onto a trailer perfectly smoothly.

David, my driveway is steep and it is pretty much like driving the car up into a trailer but I have never had a problem with that. The car has always driven smoothly up into the garage.

The problem that was fixed by the new differential occurred when driving through my neighborhood in second gear at a steady 20 MPH and the car would consistently start to “bunny hop” as Tommy Hodges described it. I have had five Panteras and this is the only one that has ever done such. Tommy was thinking that the aluminum fly wheel initiated the hopping and at this point I am thinking the worn out differential amplified it. He said that two Panteras with aluminum fly wheels that he has worked on were bunny hoppers.

The hopping problem with my car as described above is now fixed.

Is your ZF newer or perhaps thoroughly rebuilt, including the differential?
