Corse I CV joints

[Normb666]

That reminds me of a box failure I had in a Fulvia - big bang, stop, roll car, all OK, drive a bit, still OK, then big bang again. Turned out one of the gears shed some teeth and all was fine as long as the bits were at the bottom of the box, but they kept getting picked up and...well, you can guess the rest...

As Craig says, get that diff out pronto before any loose bits take the rest of the box out!! Don't know if you can have a good look round in the casing with the diff off to check for debris?

Good luck and let us know...

So does the Quaife from Autolusso fit a 16v 12v gearbox (i hope thats what it is, the box came with all the bits when I bought it all.)
It was supposed to be a new box, and was painted bright clean red.
I put a new clutch cover and plate on the engine when I fitted it.


If am going to pull the engine, perhaps now is the time to get the rear damper mounting plates made correctly for a Corse I. Any body have the dimensions, or know where I could get some plates made up, if I can make up some templates?


Oh well, engine out and I can tidy up the rubber grommit thing round the gearshaft rod whilst I am at it. Anyone got any good product details for this.

The Quaife ATB Differential fits the 12v box. I've got one assembled here for the new build that's stalled...

Junk the linkage and buy a cable shift.

I asked Craig that, and he told me to stay with rod.
I will do whatever people think best

Right
Rear clam off. Both driveshafts off. Both calipers off. Exhaust off.
Left wheel bearing definitely gone. Rumbles and no spin. Right is quiet and quick flick it will turn nearly 360 deg on its own.
When taking right caliper off, this fell out from somwhere?
It is about 12mm x 6mm x 2mm , is rubber backed, stamped 5 on front and seems to show "contact" wear. Any ideas?

I think I will try to keep engine in, change wheel bearings and the right side CVs. (lefts done last week)
I will see if I can do diff to LSD in situ, and ask Craig about fitting cable shift.

wheel weight?

Looks like a wheel weight to me!

Good spot, that might be it, but I just took the left hub apart.
The inner section came out nicely, but the outer with the wheel flange took a bit of brute force, and tapping of a big socket
No evidence of any grease in the hub , and the outer bearing does not want to move off the shaft. Will have to find someone in St Albans to press the bearings off and press the new ones in.
A big pile of black duct fell on the floor and really smells of burning.

I think I may have found the problem.

Looks like Granada Scorpio 5 stud bearing for rear is FBK090 and FBK089

Guy, is that a hint you might want to sell it?
