TVR 3000M rear axel

[xknono]

Hello,
I have bought a splendid TVR 3000M on this web site, but now I would like to update it.
Do you know were can I found: a Salisbury rear axel, and a 4-speed gearbox with an OV?
Thank you for your help

If you're fitting a salisbury you need to modify the chassis and change the diff carrier. I think an S spec salisbury will fit you may also need new driveshafts - talk to Adrian Venn at exactly TVR

Thank you for your help. In fact this car is fitted with a Salisbury rear axel, but it is very noisy.
So I have to repare or change it.

Hi A & thanks J...In 30 yeas I have only had I Jag diff fail...and 2 others had loose front pinion nuts, that at first, I thought had failed (remove the propshaft to check). Mostly these would have noises transmitted from the wheel bearings and driveshafts....Arnaud If you or a mechanic can, remove the wheel,drum screws, release the brake shoe adjuster, then through the flange release the 6 nuts that hold the bearing onto the alloy casting and undo the halfshaft centre boot AND remove the bearing/1st UJ and outer half shaft from the car, leaving the brakes in place. Then check the bearing by spinning the outer housing with no load, check this spining freely and with no roughness. Check both sides, rebuild in the reverse order and release the hand brake cable before adjusting the shoes, then adjust in the centre of the car if needed. I have taken for granted that the diff has been checked!
