Can get 5.12
I think it's the 5 speed auto

Awesome, could be an upgrade if/when I decide to SAS and run big rubber.

Looks to me like you are doing teeth extraction to the R&P every time.
I'll go with the others and say that there is too much force on these and they 'just pop'
Happy driving/big wheels/huge loads + second hand parts can be a nasty combo.
Can you please not deplete the 5.12 gears around Brissy, I might need some too. :p

We're still waiting for pics/details.

This is what my rear diff did recently.
Years of abuse, 20 year old diff, auto locker, larger tyres, plenty of off road and towing is what I blame.
Replaced it with 2nd hand diff of unknown age, without locker fitted.
Not expecting it to last forever.

XL7 diff is a possibility. You would have to swap over the entire housing. 5.12 is available..... I have one in the shed.....

I actually thout about doing this when I snapped the axle.... but put it in the CBF pile of ideas ive had

[klutched]

Finally pulled the rear diff out... Same as last time except it's sheared further out. Left is the old one right is most recent.

[tanshi]

left one doesnt look like it was setup properly, as it only took half the tooth with it.

the latest one is just catastrophic faulture to me

[Gwagensteve]

X2. Poor setup on the first one.

Yeah I thought so, whoever set it up made it really tight. Gonna take new one down to shop and get them to set it up properly.

Also would a gearbox/transaxle oil be fine in transfer and diffs? Transfer calls for GL-4 but I can't find any :S

[tanshi]

i wouldnt be risking anything other than what it recomends with the diff issues you have had

[klutched]

Transfer calls for GL-4 75W90, every 75W90 listed on Supercheaps website is GL-5

EDIT: Diff calls for GL-5 80W90

[droverdave]

As mentioned the pinion looks like it was way too deep on both of them, more so on the left one.

Some interesting things on GL-4 vs GL-5

Were both R&P's dead quiet when they were installed? On acceleration, deceleration and coasting?

Couldn't hear anything, just a bit of bearing noise on the right hand one.

A fine grinding job.
Makes me even more scared about touching my diffs now :/
