Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Transaxle bad diff??

.........did we set up the preloads correctly on the
new diff bearings or just 'throw it in' as the masses
advise?

FWIW over the past few months I've had many DIY diff's
/ MTX's arrive at the shop.One...had a loose crown
wheel bolt that had fallen out and punched thru the
trans case(new cases!),another did not have the
bearings set...to the point it had NO shims in them at
all and flopped around like a d**k in a bucket,that
needed a new crown wheel and output shaft assy/pinion
because the 'rocking' had chipped the gears....the
third was just loose and noisy.....yeh....just 'drop
it in'....muppets!!!!
In most of these cases the diffs were sent away for
check at Quaife to clean ,check and remove debris
etc.Don't forget the warranty is VOID if the unit is
incorrectly set up.......
