    That looks like teeth edges or dog ring edges.... be interested to see inside.....
    If Carlsberg did Motor clubs, then IDMC would probably be the best motor club in the world.

    It's a long way for the dog ring edges to travel, if it is them, I wouldn't expect to see them in big chunks like that, I'd expect them to be pulverised.

    The whole lot is super-finished too so would expect parts of the gear train/dog teeth to be polished, these chunks are really dull. Where as the diff is just normal, should find out soon enough.

    I've told them I want photo evidence of where those bits are from!! They can't just tell me "oh it's this....." I want to see!!

    It's done 1 trackday so whatever it is it's at their cost!!!

    Where is the magnet located?

    I've seen Xtrac and quaife dog edges be like this on lower magnets from the sump...

    Yes if superfinished should be mirror almost....

    Photos will be very interesting and i would be surprised if they do... but id be pushing hard for it....

    Totally agree... but Quaife have a way of putting it down to something they would deem beyond there control like oil type or something small and silly.... keep trying though and should get there... i know various people they have tried to fob off with things like this going wrong early in the products life...

    Directly under the crown wheel and diff.

    Let's see what they say! They know I'm not happy!!

    If they claim oil type then I fail to see how an oil could cause the edges of teeth or dogs to break off.......we'll see I guess!!

    In other news...

    What ramp angles did you go for?? I’ve just got a gripper for my 1400 tarmac nova rally car and went for 45/90 & heavy preload. But untested yet!

    Have Quaife given you any estimation as to when they will respond to you with their cause?
    are there any independent gearbox places you could take it to in case it ends up going down a legal route?

    I guess there are independent places to take it. I'm not ready to go there just yet.

    They've said they want atleast 4 weeks as a turnaround as they class this as "service" work.

    If, however it needs a specific part manufactured then I guess it could be 10-12 weeks for that!!!

    I don't see how they can say it's anything other than their problem, by their own admission this is a "motorsport" product that's done 20 trackday laps of Mallory park..........so if the box is screwed then that tells me it's certainly not fit for motorsport purpose!!

    We know of 2 separate Hondas running this sequential box (albeit in a different casing), drag racing with nearly 700 horses without issue. I'm leaning towards it being completely diff related, hence the gripper diff purchase.

    The issue I might have is it's 12 months old now, but I can easily show the progress of the car has meant that the box has only been "active" for 3-4 weeks but they don't offer warranty anyway so.....

    Let's wait and see what they come back with before I get too bent out of shape.
