8:30 the car went on the ramp this morning with a Quaife ATB diff
3pm the car drove of the ramp with a Peugeot Std open diff

as soon as i started to drain the new oil out i knew somthing was wrong
the oil was shimmering with metalic particles

so removed the diff and stripped it on the bench to find the problem
once the issue was found i was on the phone to Quaife for advice
they are real helpfull

anyway feck the writing pictures it what you want




preload conical washers




the bad bits.........




after sending the pictures to quaife
i phoned them back

basicly they said the diff had been run with a broken driveshaft or without oil which had caused that damage
send it back to us and we can refurb it and give you a warrantee

then we talked prices and i went white!

£55 for them to look at it
£133 for that one Long Sun Gear R.H
£9 each planet gears X10
£300 odd for the casing

to which i said the gear had got blue with heat so the case hardening would be compromised to which he agread

so as of now i need to replace the damaged sun gear
i need to see if i can clean up the casing as it may be the gear hasn't cut into it rather left its own deposits on it

anyway its all up in the air ATM

so warning to anyone buying a second hand DIFF
strip it before you install it and check it
