Hiya guys Ive broken the diff on the soarer.

Need a mechanic thats trustworthy and can fix it for me ASAP. Anyone have any suggestions as close to the Melbourne CBD as possible so i can limp the car to their garage.

Thank you all

Jovica, any mechanic should be able to fit it. The 32 diff will fit, as Peter said.


What are you going to do with the dead diff? I know someone that wants one to dummy up a project car, if you were going to throw it away that is.

pm'ed you.

Why not buy a new Crown wheel and pinion from Muzzy, not that much more expensive and it's brand new, instead for an 13-17 year old diff.

I pm'd muzz, he responded i responded back and nothing so far. He must be busy. I can deal with the trams for another week only cause im going back to Adelaide for the weekend so stress will be relived. But will activley look to fix it by next weeks end.

The City Garage in north melbourne quoted me s/h fitted diff 1500 bucks I of course told them in a polite manner to go jump.

If anyone has a TT V8 LSD open( i dont care) diff let me know please.

I have got a open diff centre out of my uzz31 which would fit if you are interested. Its not a complete diff just the centre but if your complete diff is stuffed your better off buying the whole thing. Do you know whats wrong with it?

Wafi,

I know she is broken. The car drives fine in a straight line but turn right and it sounds like a war is happening under my car and the back end sways.

Get back into a straight line and she is all good again.

Complete diff would be more preferable as I might be able to wrangle some space to replace the diff my self.

How much you want for the centre??

Jovica,

I am not to sure what its worth really to be honest, what do you think its worth?? Give us an offer. But I am not too sure if replacing the centre will solve your problem hopefully its all you need because normally if you abuse them, all the spider gears inside them go bang, open diff's are useless for anything but LSD's are hard to find. If you drain the oil out of your diff and find metal pieces in the oil than i'm pretty sure its the centre.
I just noticed your in Victoria As well, which city/suburb are you from?
