Thread: which diff centres and where to buy

sorry for going off thread. what difference is there with the case?

G'day All, Firstly I haven't sen one in the flesh, but have sen pix, and it is apparent that the Intermeadiate shaft is moved to accomodate the ?increased size of the Int/gear, by that I mean the std existing hole in the rear of the L/R T/case is welded up along with the recesses inside the case for the thrust washers etc, it is all then moved and redone, remember I haven't seen one in the flesh but thats my recollection of it, I'm sure if I'm wrong someone will nail me for it LOL cheers Dennis

I'll run and get the hammer for that person:P

If money is tight you can skip the full rebuild kit - I've rebuilt a few cases and the bearings have always been in good nic. You will need new thrust washers for the intermediate gear and a few spare shims for the speedo case (which you may or may not need). I'd check servicability first then get what you need. Also get some shim metal to go behind the intermediate thrush washers - for some reason every case i've done the new washers still do not bring the gear to within spec.

is that for the bad machineing or just poor design?
