Couple of the filler cap for turbo m





Cars been running perfect with only 1 issue of gearbox oil coming up the speedo cable and dripping out the back of the clocks, I've had about 25 fwd fords and have never had this before so i'm a bit stumped on that one.
Anyway, small update, it was always the plan to change the box for an IB5 with LSD, now I had both of these in the garage but just didn't get time before the motor went in, So yesterday I started but taking the box apart, this is the 1st box I've taken apart to fit an LSD so took me a while.

Before I cleaned it


End cap removed


Main shaft and diff removed


LSD diff and IB5 crown wheel, Now I had read that the inner diameter of the crown wheel of the IB5 was a tiny bit smaller and may need running on a lathe so that the diff would fit, so took the crown wheel off the open diff and trial fitted it and it went straight on no problems



Now I have an issue, the cog on the bottom right has a retaining ring which decided to fly across the garage when I was removing it, so now i'm stuck until I find it :-(


Whilst it was apart I checked the final drive and it's 3.82 the same as an S2 so all good.

Just need to sort a tidy clutch out now, so any advice on this is welcome.
