Shreaded diffs!

[Bayareabasher]

So I was wondering why my rear wheels were locking up and then I opened the diff housing I saw this


Damn it... Is there anything I can do to prevent this?

1) Check the shims. Make sure there is no sideways movement.

2) Check the input shaft bearings, if these have collapsed that could cause the gears to mash up.

3) Check there is no play in the input shaft.

The gear box should have very little play if any.
Have a look at the TD tech tips!

Make sure your slipper isn't too tight

this is also a good idea:

Some shims and a 8*5*2,5mm ball bearing is placed between the two larger ball bearings.

I might be completely wrong! But shouldn't you have some grease in there? Or have you cleaned it up?
