Hi guys Just been informed that box is about to die. Something to do with Crown gear. right my main question is, can i get replacment parts or is it possible to use parts from any of the other boxes? or do i need to try and sorce a replacment. its a M59. thanks guys :worried:
It can be fixed as anything else mate but sometimes the cost of parts doesn`t make it worthwhile and its cheaper to get e diff box.M56 r stronger and much cheaper.

the bad news is no, you can't buy new replacement parts. But yes as the ratios are exactly the same as the T-5 M56H (with 4.00FDR) chances are they'll be interchangeable from a good secondhand box. The main difference is the M59 has a special casing for the viscous coupling to lock into thats on the longer driveshaft

[QUOTE=T5frankie;584159]beat me to it lol[/QUOTE] U r getting slow lol The drive shafts r diff for m56,aren`t they?
Sorry to hear of your woes.
[QUOTE=Kingsford G;584177]U r getting slow lol The drive shafts r diff for m56,aren`t they?[/QUOTE] Only one of them

thinking about it, i've got the full internals from a M56H (except diff) gathering cobwebs if you want them
