Rear diff

dieseldog69 · Dec 29, 2014

For the sake of a bit of juice just jump in your car, drive over, stick the diff lock in and try it, with and without the H brake on.

Whats the worst that can happen? P

Plus, it gives you a chance to see what the spline counts are if you take it to get a new diff

I think I'll do that. It's just I'm not clued up enough to know exactly what it is myself so trying to clue myself up a little bit via you lots brains

Was up for £1700 before, he said I could have it for £800 now, might out a cheeky offer in...

The handbrake was working before though. Would diff going break the handbrake or does it sound like transfer box?

hand brake operates on the output flange of t/box prop is directly bolted to so it cant be working if prop can be turned,putting it in diff lock or g/box in gear should if things are ok stop prop turning (though it will turn a little due to backlash but only a small part of a turn

Brilliant, Thankyou again James!

no problem its what we are all here for

So if it doesn't spin when either in gear or in diff lock, it's likely to be fooked diff, half shafts and handbrake at worst?

Little Butch · Dec 29, 2014
