rear diff-what locker

[Been a while]

Back lash... video won't download, but trust me you can hear the slop.

Keeps on saying invalid file? Anyone have any ideas?

Tried a yellow paint pen to check and make note of pinion contact but it didnt work, what did work was white board markers...

 

[Been a while]

These two photos show contact areas on Crown gear , forwards and reversing... not where it should be eh!

What a spring disc should look like .. aaand the following pics are of the dreaded spring plate and disc breakage...

Ha, found the other fragment - I knew I put it somewhere ...

This pit is completely different "as you can see", maybe tip of a gear tooth .???

Tiz' looking like a second hand one, will see I guess... danm I hate removing diffs !

I wouldn't go 2nd hand, but that's just me. I'd be looking at fitting a locker.

That damage is quite significant! Have you worked out what caused it?

 

[Been a while]

Hey Kevin, my thoughts also... I don't like the unknown !

Regards to what caused it and damage done, broken "spring plate or disc" I'm guessing -haven't pulled the diff yet. I was planning on doing it today, this weekend I'll get to it and know more..

eLocker $1'700 that's why I'm looking at rebuilding the center and a "re pack" to a heavier brake away Lb. for the LSD
Pinion and crown $550 to $1200 if needed, at 310'000 k it may be needed..
Bearings and seals $300 to $500
Have done, Set pinion to crown $200 to $300
It starts to add up , $3000 on a 03 ??? That's why I'm thinking lsd.... all depends on where that other piece of metal came from, I'm betting that bit of spring plate has chipped a tooth of the planetary gears...

I'm hearing you re the cost on a 15-16 year old car.

The wreckers here in Adelaide charge almost as much as new parts though.

Maybe try to get hold of a wrecked low K's D22 donor car yourself & just cannibalise?

You're never going to know the history of the wrecked car, but you wouldn't know the history of any 2nd hand car that you bought either!

There were some D22's that came into Aust with the incorrect diff oil in them years ago, I'm wondering if yours is one of them. We'll never know!

Ok. Mines looking a little sad, it has the slightest play in the axles too danm it- and I mean slightest but I can feel it.... Diffs out and will pull it apart today and check more.

Thinking second hand one now, may have one with low k's "160'000"
If mines to past it I'll fit the second hand unit and then gather parts from Japan "got onto cheap genuine parts but they can take up to a month to arive", then ill think about a re build re pack shims etc or maybe a locker...

Has anyone seen these Torsen diff centers ? They say this is where trutrack stole their ideas from.. I'll find a link and post..

 

[Been a while]

Yup, twas the spring plates and discs... I think a second hand low k's one will be a better starting point than trying to re build this old girl...

I think it's these clips that are the failing point, clip wears through then snaps allowing spring plate to move and then snap..

Well well well, guess who's back under a stinking nav ... ummm guess who needs a new diff! Dang it... Started squeeking "like a dry bearin niose" high pitched and then stopped!.. hmm popped the filler plug and its dark and shiny... changed the fluid 5000 k ago and she was fine... it'll be the clutch packs again, this time I'll go the locker and do the labour myself...

 

[MANNING]

Well well well, guess who's back ...

WELCOME BACK.
Hopefully these issues are fast fixed

for lockers, electric locker is best bet.
lunchbox lockers/auto lockers like lokka, require a bit of a different driving style and are a pain around town.

anyone looked at torsen lsd? there is versions of them being made in the uk and now china. just not sure if they fit our navaras. downside is the type2 is most common and its disposable, they wear out if your hard on them. but they are nice to drive with.

 

[Been a while]

Not so happy now...

WELCOME BACK.
Hopefully these issues are fast fixed

Oh man, thanks... finding a centre is the tricky part at the moment... I was looking for a Lokka type manual one buuuut! Can't find stock.
What other "manufacturers" deal with the D22 ? Sure, Harrop, but danggggg they 2g before bearings and seals.. I may be forced to go that way if I can't find something manual... "Aaaaanother switch on the dash" uggg... AAAAAnd she a "classic" now '03 ...
I noticed a little refrigerate under the Air con pump yesterday too, she's getting on the poor thaang... what to do! what to do!.. sentimental ol fool eh lol you put so much time into them its hard parting with them.. but, I did say I'd make a beach buggy from her in her retirement lol soooo Harrop eh lol ... beach buggies don't need Aircon do they
Also noticed a reasonable new h.d drag link needs replacing also! Wtf!.. its done fk all miles eh and I set it up perfectly! I used a digital protractor etc.. no joints had any pre load but the pivit point on the steering box side has flogged out.. I'll try and get a video... you'll see how new the link is... rather pissed, but "i" must have missed something to cause it...
I'll keep ya posted on what "we" find once the cover plate comes off but I'm betting I'm right, they bind up as they're dying lol it'll be interesting to see but from what I've read and noticed on my last diff,, those clips are the culprits..

Ehhhh Tweeksta! Howdy man... I knowwww, but another switch on the dash... you're right lol but danggggg $$$$$
There is a Vachina made replica out now of the Harrop, still 1.3 g though.. hmmm

 

[Been a while]

Lol, I'm trying to find out what ratio was in her... ****, I was nearly a diff expert and now I can't even remember what ratio is in her... 4.3 I believe.... yes, harrop are ratio specific... she's an expensive dune buggy now..
