Recon Sierra Diffs
simonk - 1/12/08 at 10:57 PM

Hello All

So the one part on the car that wasn't new or a full recon has proved to be a false economy. I have a 3.62 viscous slippy diff that has lots of backlash and whines like a whiny thing. I use the throttle to drown the whining but the backlash is horrid !!

Can anyone recommend either a reliable reconditioner or a good source of recon Sierra diffs (Beds, Herts, Cambs) , either viscous slippy version or with a conventional LSD in ??

All suggestions welcome

Thanks all
Simon

I had my diff rebuilt at road and race transmissions in kent. Very quick turn around in 2 days, only thing that was original was the crown wheel and pinion gear everything else they replaced with new. If I remember correctly it cost about £230.

Trip to Canvey Island and get a better s/h one, suspect you have been unlucky as most are fine.

Out of interest, who's at Canvey Island?
