Ive just fitted a 7 1/2" Quaife diff to my 2wd saph cossie and now the diff sounds like a tube train. It whines when free wheeling, excelerating and decelerating. but slightly more when under normal throttle.

Any ideas if his is normal?

CheeRS!

ive got a quaife on mine mate which wines a little too and ive been told its normal......so dont worry about it too much and enjoy the sideways stuff.

 

that normal mate

 

it should not whine at all pal, should be as quiet as a normal diff, probably the pinion is out of meash

 

oh right........ well thats 2/1 that its normal

Anyone else? if we can get 10 opinions then i'll take the majority vote. lol

Markk, what do u mean by the pinion being out of meash? i thought that it either lined up or it wouldnt work at all??

 

the crown wheel and pinion must be re-meshed when the diff unit is replace otherwise its position on the crown wheel will be wrong and the diff will not last very long before its wearing itself away pal, trust me. there shouls not be any noise from a std cwp

 

Nice one mark. Just spoke to a transmission company and they said the same. i'll strip it and do it propperly!

Thanks mate!
