Hey there russ, rob, ken, anyone else...

Ken - I got enough backlash in my rear diff that I should get it attended too. Had the car on a hoist at a local performance shop the other night to check it out. I was told that it was prolly something to do with a spacer type thingo (sorry cant remember exactly) that would need to be replaced inside the diff where the tailshaft connects. I think it is compliments of a lack of experience launching the car from the one time I went to the drags.

Anyway - to cut a long story short - can you tell me where to go?

Yep can do but your wife has already done it for me...

Is the diff noisy?

The spacer thingy is probably the crush washer for the pinion bearing.

My advice is to just turn up the radio a bit louder. Removing , o/hauling and while it's apart , replace the clutch packs , carrier bearings , reset the preload etc then the figure will be in the $1300- $1500 region.

Get a 2nd hand one and be ready to throw it in if you run out of radio volume.

Cheers

Ken

One of the few places I know is Diff and Trans in Jolimont.

Know a few tailshaft mobs but they are not diff rebuilders.

Thanks guys.

Ken, there's no noise, & I think it was the crush washer that they were talking about. I wouldn't care about it except that I was told it could cause excessive wear on the crown wheel (I think that's what it's called).

But then again - drive it till it breaks then get one 2nd hand for around $500 bucks I reckon.

In conjunction with what.

Std they are around 200-220 hp at all 4 . Would be surprised if just a puter made that diff.

I gotta spare , it's in the ricer.:D

Actually ,C Red have a few for around the $800 mark and I think they may even have a 1.5 or 2 way.

Cheers
