Diff re-build

[Toma500]

Hello everyone can anyone reccomend somewhere to give a GKN diff a re-buld ive just bought a second hand one and its shagged . Also heard somewhere that quaife can put one of their own LSDs inside the GKN casing any idea of the costs and places that do this kind of stuff ? thanks
Tom.

I think you need to pop the rear cover & check the C&P, if these are screwed its prob scrap.

Sorry, this is no help to your problem but could you count how many teeth there are on the propshaft trigger ring for the speedo sensor for me? Need to recalibrate my speedo and don't much fancy trying to count them with the diff on the car

Many thanks if you could!

Mines 15/16 (can't read my scrawl!), but as said before I don't know if they are all the same (depending on instruments, box drive for ecu...)

Bcks! That's different to the number I've seen previously. Mine has a serp & T5, but still a GKN if it helps?

[Griffit]

Err, the number I saw previously was from you Dave, and it was 18!

I take it the difference is down to the illegible notes?

Its a good idea to keep a note book.... but blinking useless when you jot down rubbish down that you can't even read!!

Cheers will pop off the rear cover and have a peep maybe post some pics if i,m not sure if crown and pinion f**ked , In no real hurry just bought diff to have as a spare seeing as how scarce they are maybe a while though as backs giving me hazard warnings and these things are heavy , its on the kitchen floor at the mo the other halfs not happy bless her .

Is this the same diff as the Jaguar, (Salisbury)? If so then Quaife wanted around £1200 3 or 4 years ago. What's shagged about it as the C&P don't normally give problems unless the pinion bearing collapses.

Pheww £1200 is a bit stiff looking at it now and turning it it makes quite a rumble ill get it to bits and have a look maybe later today

Is the diff a Jaguar power lok type or an Aston limited slip diff?

All i know is its a GKN finned diff that came off a 94 Chimp or Griff it was supplied brand new from TVR was fitted on a car and went Kaputt after only ten miles or so . I think Ill have a look at it next week and see if the crown and pinion are fubared . And if they look okay see if i can get it re-furbed .
