MX5Ireland

i welded my diff up yesterday and the stub shaft rung inside it and ruined all the teeth on the splines.
wouldnt have done it only the circlip asnt seated perfect.
now i need another 93 1.6 diff for welding.
must be cheap.
if a 1.8 one will just bolt in il take that too but im not sure.
thanks,
shane

easy mistake. You must make sure the shafts are in the diff and the hubs properly. Its recommended that you use new c-clips.

ye it was unfortunate but what can you do.
i think il get a new pair of circlips next time round alright.
could save all the hassle.
i rang robert (autocheck i think) and he said he has a diff and shafts there but its the type without the 2 little stub shafts. does anyone know if that will fit in my hubs and propshaft ok?

if they are one piece axles from a 1.6, yes it should, at least I had no problems.
I've had both types of axles with 1.6 diffs. Maybe bring the old one with you?

Not sure about 1600's but doesn't make a difference on the 1800's. Later 1 piece shafts were a lot cheaper to produce. Think they changed after '94 or so.

sounds good so.
ye il bring down the old ones whenever im buying.
sound for that

took the diff out today.
think il get away with just replacing the driver side stub shaft thank god.
anyone have 1?

should have Shane but not 100% till i get home friday. May have dumped them.

good stuff.
il take the pair off you if you have them.
are they viscous or open? either will do i think as the diff is welded and the longer part of the viscous shaft isnt needed.
can you give me a rough price for the 2?

wont be a whole lot as i dont need them . If they are there i have 2 . From a 1.8 with Torsen T1 Diff so should fit an open ok. Bring the old one with you lad.

right so sure il bring the old pair.
was it clogherhead i met you before for coilovers?

yeah same place. Tech day saturday morning. Bring biccies.....

sounds good.
had to read that twice lol i thought you said bring b*tches.
dont know can i get a lift up saturday but il try.
would love to bring the mx5 but its been sick the past week haha.
il ring you friday evening and see if you have the stubs anyway.

bring some of them toooo.........mmmmmm .

Yeah, we love bi*ches!!!!
