Desrtoyed somthing this morning! UPDATED - Some teeth made it out!
Turbo Mini Forums

I was on my way to work this morning, when I nailed it in 2nd and had the most awful crash and grind from the box! I managed to get it into a driveway to a vets before I came to a halt.

It's been running around 14psi for the last couple of months with a standard box, drops and diff, so I was inevitable really.

All of the gears still select, but there is no drive to the wheels, just a horrible noise. Could it be the diff?

No good pics of the pinnion there though. It lost half of its teeth

Looks about right. I think that there's a few teeth left, as I can get a split second of drive until it grinds again.

Oh well, out comes the wallet again!

my money is on the input gear has stripped its teeth, thats the normal place on helical boxes but dont count out all the above.

always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas

I think that I might use this chance to insert one of those indestructible 'Hoggy' boxes that I've been hearing about.

yep id go with the hogmiest
er on this , the gear from the input to the laygear ,broke on mine the other day , in just the same way .

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

oh no just lost touch with time and realized its actually a fair while ago now , lol

Glad I put that straight cut 3.76:1 in my box now ive seen that. The pinion is small on the 3.76, it must be tiney on the 4.33, all that torque with an LSD, the pinion would want to walk over the crown wheel

Edited by Sprocket on 20th Sep, 2007.

is that 3,76 for an LSD by any chance Sprocket?and for sale possibly?

No mate running an xpin diff and I have only just bought the CWP, so no you cant have it

LOL

The box is on the 1400 at the minuit but it was intended for the 16v. Finishing off those things that should have been done on the 16v when i actualy had the fucker in the car!!! LOL

Oh and I really wish i had left those sump gaskets out, the drops are bloody noisey!! Jackman has the same gears but its not as bad for some reason, and i think its that.

Sorry off at a tangent.

Im with hogster too thats where ive done a couple of box's in the past. Plus the booting it in 2nd and crash/grinding sounds familiar

Here's the teeth that made it out of the sump.

Anyone fancy guessing what they belong to?

I've edited my response as I feel it was unclear.
