Hey guys, pulled my donor rear diff cover off. Besides the oil looking like chocolate milk (it's been sitting a long time) I have a question. Here is the cover open.
Here is a pic of the pass side spider gear. That looks like a clutch pack to me. Is the preload spring missing or just different in these than an 8.8?
Other side spider.
I may have the sides reversed. Shouldn't matter. There is very little backlash in the unit (haven't measured yet). Pinion bearing seems to feel good and there's no play. From what I can tell by the nasty oil, the gear pattern seems reasonably centered. I'm thinking this is a clean it up good and run it. Probably could use a new set of clutches (if that's what they are) but otherwise I think its solid.
What do you guys see?
