Ok, maybe not the way some of you thought, but this is how your gearbox looks from the inside.
I had to take it apart due to my differential problems and a planned upgrade to a Torsen LSD that can cope with the higher power output of my engine.


The box has traveled 185,000 km and looks as new if I take a closer look at all the gears, bearings, and syncromeshes.
No need to replace any of them, although I will since I’ve got it open anyway.


Just the differential’s sliding bush shows some scratch wear, which is clearly visible and could be a lack of lubrication. No measurable play, though.


The next step will be to measure up the diff and try to fit in a Quaife one. If there are more people interested in this conversion, please drop me an email, so I can try to get a few more modified diff housings cast.
