hey all, hows it going?
ive not been on this site for a while.
I have a question and am not great on technical speak. i have broken a few rear diffs on my disco 1, usually after a nice easy climb, i have found out that it may have been damaged earlier, it alway seeem to be the same thing that goes....the bar that goes by the crown wheel with the planet gears on that are top and bottom.
i have a bit of slack in my trnsmission so maybe the jolts from the slack being taken up slowly fractures it.
My question is...why is it always that bit that goes and the planet gears break and without going into arbs or anything similar is there a way to stop it breaking ( other than not driving hahaha), im loooking at maybe making that bar out of steel not forged metal that it is at the moment..
Also does anybody know how to get rid of the slack in the transmission, it seems to be in the gearbox area from what i can tell.
Any help would be appreciated.
rangey.
