Excuse my ignorance but what rods have you extended on the diff?

Sorry I have'nt got back to you , just a couple queries are the springs hard or soft ?
and are they holding their tension well being 12 months old ?
did you have to have a transfer box spacer on your setup ?
where are you in this country of ours ?
cheers

buying wrangler mtr's 33 x 12.5 x 15 need some wider rims than the ones curently on my standard nissan GQ can anyone help me out
cheers

still for sale ? were they new 2 months ago will you take $600

sounds like they layshaft bearing is coming to bits and the reverse gear sits on the layshaft ,there are no particular oils that will quieten it down if they are worn they are worn.
hope that helps

you should get a bit more out of it but as you know its an old box and if it doesn't get alot of use should be alright and its only 1st and reverse which dont get that much drive time do they,maybe turn the stereo up a bit louder if it has one may this will also make the whine go away.

yes afraid so you are down to the last 5% of life for that box.

just spoke to the expert ,now that we know its a 2a the flakey stuff is from all the bronze bushes and thrust washes etc the whine in 1st and reverse is probably because the hardeness on the straight cut teeeth is worn off and the whine in 4th is most likely bearings in the transfer box hope that ...

What sort of truck have you got Turoa ? the gold flakey stuff is from the snycro rings so if they are worn you wont get the smoothest gear changes as for the water in there its not the best combination with all the metal .
Let me know my father is a gearbox guru
