Have a looky round the usual peeps and check their stock holding / delivery times ...

and don't forget that the rotoflex acts like a coupling, allowing slight movement and reducing any sharp forces ( such as 33" tyres suddenly biting on rock).
If this is removed, could such forces be moved to somewhere else causing another area to break such as tailshaft or diff?

Your wallet may not like this as it is more expensive than the couplings - just to remind you

right guys i am totally lost now look at this i just found ?

this basically is saying there is a spacer for a 3&4 bolt flange ?

so i just check my 300tdi diff and this is what i found looks like a spacer



totally lost now ... so does this mean i need 2 spacers lol

have you put any oil in the diff ,and its not clear from pic whether theres a spacer or not or whether you needed one

wow confusing ,diffs allways had a spacer between bearing and flange as in the link from manual ,when they bought out 3 bolt flange spacer was incorportated into flange ,so all 3 bolt flanged diffs have no spacer fitted as its part of flange they then also bought out a 4 bolt flange with spacer incorporated ,if you stand flanges together you can obviously see the difference in length ,a short flange without spacer would lead to loose flange a ruined bearings shortly ,a long flange with spacer as one if fitted with a spacer as well would lead to a very tight bearing if you could get bolt started

Any ideas then ?

what flange have you been fitting pic , then i can tell you if it needs the seperate spacer ,once fitted diff should turn smooth with no play

that means nothing its just shows all parts that may be fitted

I'd just like to say FLLAAAAAANNNGE.

That is all

morning right i have found the flange what i ordered. But this does not still answer my issue as there is a spacer when you take off the 3 bolt flange. So my understanding now is that you need 2 spacers ?

This is a 300tdi with a 3 bolt flange when i removed the 3 bolt flange this is what i found )like the spacer i need !it must have some sort of spacer as standard ?? am i thinking right ?
