I also greased both sides of the 18mm washers, as per both intructions and vid.... really scratching my head on this one, thinking it must be mechanical wear...  |
Ive not seen the video you speak of. The circlip, if tensioned correctly should be very difficult to spin once installed. If it spins easily then either open it out and refit or replace the circlip. Yes, it slips out of position causing the tension to decrease and the diff slips as a result. Its common knowledge on these diffs. It took me a while to figure out why my own car was doing the same. Once you have built it right then they are pretty good to be fair. Theres does seem to be about 15 parts more than is needed though. Overly complicated compared to other manufacturers
