    Theresa big difference between no having a warranty and selling a product not fit for purpose. Was the original diff a quaife item?

    Yes mate, well a Tran-X, which is ofcourse now owned by Quaife.

    I find it interesting that when I sent the video of the wheel wobble after 4-5 laps to them, quaife told me they'd never ever ever seen anything like this before.......both John at Gripper and a Quaife approved independent gearbox specialist told me that this is a known problem with the Tran-X due to the offset plate layout. 5 one side 3 the other, instead of 4-4.

    Doesn't explain the bits in the oil though........

    I’ve been reading you build thread on this car for the start and I have to say hats off to you. So many unique parts and so much skill an time invested. I can only imagine your sense of achievement to finally get it on track an not be afraid to drive it as it was intended. Hopefully you get the teething problems sorted and really start enjoying it

    Thanks mate.

    I expected some issues so all is not lost. But it's looking a bit sorry for itself in the garage at the minute!!!

    Be back together soon!!

    Spoke to Quaife Friday and they've found an issue with the diff and part of the selector mechanism was dragging, which I think explains the crunch between 1st and 2nd.

    They've said it's all their problem and asked me to bare with them whilst they engineer the solutions.

    They are going to put it all back together with a "cutaway inspection case" so they can look inside and ensure they have everything as they'd like it.

    To be fair to them although it's taken them 4 weeks to look they have admitted fault and are looking to make sure it's 100% correct before it comes back to me.

    Some goodish news atleast.

    To be honest mate I thought they were going to throw it back at me or ask for ££££ to fix it, but straight away they said "it's our fault, we'll sort it"

    So a little relieved there!!

    Thats cracking news! Long time since ive heard them do something like this so sounds like it could be quite a tricky mistake.... Bet your looking forward to getting it back now knowing they should have sorted it
    If Carlsberg did Motor clubs, then IDMC would probably be the best motor club in the world.

    I've heard or read somewhere that the basic off this gearbox was the Honda sequential were Quaife just added an Vauxhall bellhousing on it.
    That would makes you think they had sorted problems like this as some Honda guys are running these gearboxes for some time now..

    Are you still going to fit the Gripper diff?
