Trouble with standard R180


Recommended Posts

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?

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...
