What I like to do when rebuilding my diff, is grab the diff fluid and put it in really hot water while I'm taking out my transmission. Then it'll come out of the jar or tube much easier,also as I'm putting it into the differential I am running my heat gun not only does it warm up the metal but it'll temporarily make the fluid flow a little easier.. I fill the diff & hit it with the heat gun for about a minute and a half let it sit and add more if needed.
Man. Great ideas. That’s why I love it when people leave good comments. I’ll make sure to bring this up and credit you in the next tranny video!! Thanks a lot
I changed mine because I wanted to change the housing. The other didn’t seem to want to tighten after opening twice. I would freshen up 1-2 months depending on racing. Just turn your back wheels and feel the difference action and if it’s getting loose then you know you’re leaking. If it’s stiff then you’re good and it’s just every few months or before a big event. Again it’s only really an issue if it’s leaking or it’s been a lotta races. Like 40-50 heats.
No. Thicker seems way more consistent but there’s not a proven need to go much thicker then say 500k. It also will break down. It will be a little thinner in the summer too. My cars all worked better when I moved from 200 to 500
yeah man im not going to pretend to be fast enough to push a $100 bearing set..if i had some i would throw some nice ones in there but i plan on doing a lot more maintain this year then last so theyll be checked. am i losing a bit..maybe?? hard to quantify it with hard data..which is what i want to see
@@Dorkyand40 Gotcha! Makes sense. I only ask because I just swapped to ceramics. My spare trans doesn’t have them, and it’s a MASSIVE difference in how freely it spins. I also stopped putting grease on the gears, talked to a couple fast guys, and they talked about having no stick between the gears. I’m using graphite dust, with a few drops of 3in1 oil. Between the two, it’s a night and day difference!
Yeah use some speed secrets bearing oil. If the budget allows it then yeah for sure man go for it. I know where I stand in this race circuit so Ont trying to keep it real and save some cash. I spent a lot last year for very little gains. It’s all about the surface and the prep game.
