Hi All,
First Post.. Bought a 1972 Stag last weekend and picking it up this weekend. Have been working on Triumph cars for a fair time. Currently have a TR6 (supercharged) and a 2500TC saloon both of which succesffully completed the RBRR earlier in the month!
Anyhow, my test drive of the car (which was generally good) showed up a whiney Diff. Not terrible, but would probably want to change it over the winter. Looks like the front seal of the diff is also probably leaking as there is a nice line of grease from from the diff nose on the underside of the car.. So looks like a rebuild..
So my questions are: 1) where to get a diff from.. Who are trusted suppliers of whine-free diffs? 2) Being more used to the TR setup, should I remove and refurb just the diff our should I also remove the nose housing and quill shaft and change these bearings. If the latter, can I do this without removing the whole rear subframe? I have a hydraulic lift so access isn't too much of an issue.. Also, what is the story with strengthening the quill shaft housing..
Thank for any help
Cheers
Tim
