aircobra Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Hello all, To start off, I'm not much of a diff guy, so here goes I noticed that I'm starting to get a bit of a clunking noise from the diff on 1. when taking off in reverse 2.on sharp gearchanges what's been done? g.box fully rebuiilt new universals all round new diff mount ( series 1, forward diff, too me ages to find a replacement) no grinding/whining noise from the diff otherwise ( when coasting in neutral) i had a look at this great youtube video and i defintely dont have all the tools so my question is 1. what could it be ? slop in the crown/pinion? worn pin in the centre "spider" 2. is there a good diff guy in melbourne?

C.A.R. Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 The std mount can still stretch, enough to make the nose of the diff rise up and hit the strap. Replace the Nylon strap or use a length of chain with rubber hose over it. If that doesn't fix it, the diff internals are probably worn and need replacing. A diff guy - call Les Collins in Warragul. He's rebuilt more R180's then he himself can remember... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aircobra Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 thanks, i'll give him a call. in the video, the guy gets the whole job done in about an hour, so it looks easy for someone who knows what they re doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
