Well spent a little time dissecting Jimbobs last gearbox to find ( as expected ) two planet gears ejected completely from the diff unit, cracking stuff you could say...

All looks pretty good inside, at this stage

Bad diff vs Good diff, as you'll see the 2 small planet gears are totally ejected from the box bar a couple of remnants

quite impressive the destructive power of the torque in your car changing from 2nd to 3rd on the strip, luckily for me the part I require is intact and will reconstruct my oil-less 10v box and YES I WILL PUT OIL IN IT THIS TIME......LOL

Ouch!
As you can see in the pic's there are only 3 small remnants of the planet gears found inside the box, some had fallen one during removal and handing no doubt, part of them whistled past Jimbobs door mirror as he tried to push on in 3rd, by all accounts......lol
First part of my repair......

All seems good again abs light off so something must be.right,
While I was at it thought I'd fit the new koni adjustables on the rear set to 3/4 max

Should firm up the rear a.touch hopefully :)
Did you change the wheels???
That time of the year again

Fingers crossed Matey ;)
