Posts : 23101Problem was the planet gears were never designed to do what they were asked for in rallying, on a motorway trip they'd be lucky to revolve once if even at all, with the amount of wheel spin in rallying the poor little things couldn't stand it, spinning so fast on the cross shaft the lubrication system was not designed to cope with it, result planets seize to the cross shaft, bang, hole in casing etc, £££... Answer, limited slip diffs... You ain't got a limited slip diff, well don't spin your wheels to much in the snow or it won't be a Merry Christmas -£££...Mcqueen wrote:Did a few rally cars where the planet gears in the diferential smashed there way out of the diff housing, How Paddy Hopkirk won anything i dont know
