Z320 Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 Hi, got an old diff as a present, outside it looks bad (layed in the rain?) but inside seems to be OK, only the ingoing flange is missing. For recondition it I have some questions: - how can I find out the correct washers for the pinion without the tool from the workshop manual? - to adjust the ingoing bearing: 18 inch x pound is about 2 Nm? - how to change the old seals of the outgoing shafts? I have to put the flanges for the halfshafts off? - how to seal the outgoing flanges on the diff housing? Can't find a seal offered? Thanks for your help in advance Ciao, Marco Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have to put the flanges for the halfshafts off? There is a post on here somewhere showing how. Steve-TR6 bolts them back to back and then tightens them and they pop apart - how to seal the outgoing flanges on the diff housing? Can't find a seal offered? No seal - use a good joint compound Thanks for your help in advance Ciao, Marco Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Z320 Posted May 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) In the case the crown wheel and pinion is OK I need a new ingoing flange. What I realize is it should have 6 teeth, mine has much more? Can anyone explain me? Edited May 26, 2019 by Z320 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 That input is from a saloon (2000-2.5PI, 2500TC/2500S) car or Stag. Can you read the serial numbers stamped on the bottom of the casing? If Stag ( serial starts L it will need different pinion bearings to the TR and saloon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Z320 Posted May 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 (edited) Hi Peter, thanks for your offer to help. There are cast numbers are on the top, right side: 305815 LEYS 09C6T The last number looks like an individual number from the fabric workers. I tryed to fit ond halfshafts on the outgoing flanges: this fits! edit: downside is stamped "MG 73025" Edited May 27, 2019 by Z320 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Z320 Posted May 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) Play is 0.2 mm block the carrier to open the nut Cog off it looks like TR carrier out depth is OK press the pinion out damaged pinion is this the end? edit: crown wheel has no damages, so they do not belong together Edited May 30, 2019 by Z320 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Z320 Posted May 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 Are they stamped? Can not find anything. Do I have to bolt the crown wheel off? Interesting is the ratio of 38:11 as I do not have an overdrive. But also realized my 3.7 : 1 is already too long for driving some time in a summer traffic jam.

Colin Fairhurst Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) The part numbers for the 3.7:1 Crown Wheel & Pinion on the TR6 are the same as those for the TR2 and TR3. Same applies to the Diff. bearings. Does logic imply that the dimensions for setting them up are the same ? Regards, Colin I intended to post this on the TR6 forum where someone is asking for Diff. dimensions Edited December 9, 2019 by Colin Fairhurst Wrong Forum Quote Link to post Share on other sites
