Hi guys,
I've done a search and I can't find a thread that discusses differences between early and late diff cages. I'm just wondering if anyone can tell me what the differences are between an A series diff cage and an A+ one? I'm in the process of rebuilding a gearbox and it looks like the diff cage is stuffed. I can find new A+ ones on the usual suspects and am wondering if there were any changes made along the years? It also appears that someone has done a quick rebuild on this box before me as there is still a lot of life left on the baulk rings and the spider gears etc. I'm assuming they put it back in the car and it was noisy and jumped out of gear and then it was put aside. Everything span freely before I started disassembly.
Diff cage - the better side:
Layshaft is stuffed:
Anyone have a good spare 2nd gear they want to sell me / give to me for free
? (to suit 4 synchro remote change box, 14mm mainshaft - box #22G846 (same as a 1128)):
Does anyone know how much gap there should be between the 1st/2nd shift fork? Mine is mainly worn on the left side (i.e. shifting into second or someone has left their hand on the stick while driving). I can't find easy reference to this in my manuals. 3/4 is very tight and this is definitely looser but I don't want to just go and throw parts at it if I don't have to:
