1976 TR6 project - Part 4 - Diff Planets Backlash

We meant to do a quick inspection of the diff, change seals and gaskets, install a drain plug and move to the next project. That was the plan... well, the plans are not what they used to be anymore... When I was young, I used to...

Rusty looks like he is a great co-pilot! What a good boy! 😀

Transmissions and rear ends are black magic ! Too scary for me. Lol
Your a master with no fear !

Hmmm, probably should open up the diff I switched out on my Spitfire. It had similar play so guess I’d best find out if the gears are destroyed!

Although bad news with the head you at least know where the problem was.

Hi Elin, just out of interest is there a way to partially drain the diff oil by undoing one of the shaft plates / seals for example ? Or the rear cover ? Obviously even a half-refresh of the oil will reduce wear and prolong component life ?

Great video. Both my TR6 and my Alfa have too much play in the rear diff! Now I know what the cause is. Will the teeth finally break if I don't find new gears, or will they just continue to "Klunk" when I let off the clutch?
