Lunched my Diff today
Sat on the start line at Stratford Raceway dropped the clutch and nothing just a clonk and plenty of revs and nothing in the way of forward motion
Had the tow of shame back to pits and noticed the prop was going round but no drive to the rear wheels after a terrifing 1 hour 20 mins tow poling from Stratford to Tysley up it went on the ramp took the diff out and this is what we found:
What's mising here?
Oh yes these two bits! Or should I say 5 bits

Twinnys already rebuilt my driveshafts.
I'm on the look out for a gripper now just depends on price.

Done the same thing to my diff friday. Shot those two little cogs out of the caseing :0
Are thick walled casings avalible? When these gripper diffs are built into a casing is everything else upgraded? Flanges bearings, cw&p etc.
I'm sure it was my planet gears and pinion that failed not the actual diff.
What can be done to prevent the same thing happening again?
Regards Aaron

Does sound like a good mod but finding it hard to find any conversion info.
I've got about 450bhp and standard diffs start whining after the second drive

Which model jag? Theres alot of different models. What mods need to be done to fit the diff to a cosworth beam. Also is there enough room for the diff + extra flanges and the cv's?
