just a bit of info for anybody interested. my drive train is being a bit funny since a few months when i posted about it. makes a kind of tapping gargling noise when coasting and feels a little loose n slightly clunky. Tcase was rebuilt about 2 years or so ago, only 40k kms since. so suspect gearbox.

what i wanted to let anybody know who may need replacement gearbox or tcase is that when i got my tcase done it cost me $3300 after i had pulled it out to do my clutch and put it back it. so technically i had it on the floor. what i could have done and anybody else for that matter (especially with current exchange rates), is get a rebuilt R380 with HD rear support bearing AND a rebuilt tcase WITH an ashcroft LSD centre, DELIVERED to my door for around $3600 once you factor in shipping your old units for exchange back to them.

makes me feel stupid when i think about it now. would love ashcroft rebuilt boxes with LSD and HD bits. if i need new gearbox soon looking at potentially another 3k+ to get it done. unless i get it sent from them.
