pulled the box apart this morning , and found the spider gears in the diff in pieces and I bit has pushed a hole into the cover plate , the rest of the transmission looks ok.
my transmission failure
- Thread starter caddy
- Start date
here's what's been done to the transmission .
sent it over the water to john walklett in stoke on trent
new weddle close ratio gear set , chrome molly main shaft and 3.88 pinion.
selectors being set up in jig.
new Quaife ATB limited slip differential
will be fitting van output flanges and cv joints so the weak spot will be the 1303 cv joints and shafts at the hubs.

looks great Dave, that should keep you going for a good while! Would you switch the outer shafts for Porsche 944 ones to use the bigger CVs or are you deliberately trying to keep a "weak point" as a failsafe to protect the transmission itself?
when we selected the quaife you have to specify output splines , the choice beetle or van , so I went for the van being stronger .
I may put van cv joints on the hub end but need to sort out what parts are needed to do so.
