Diffirential gears isn’t made to look like this

Just to set the record straight, Ruan job well done, not even a grinder and a hammer would make it look like this.

On our last run at the 22nd Casino Mykonos Langebaan Gymkhana, we entered the last sector of the route, just as we came around a right hand turn, we just here this loud clap following with a few of these *&%#, we retired.

We new it wasn’t clutch, so it had to be more to the rear. After pushing it back to the pits, we jacket it up and started praying that it was the diff inner and not a side shaft. Tuesday we stripped it, luckily for us it is the planetary & sun gears that just decided 2.0lt Zetec power was enough. Bugger, and I thought a set of throttles and decent cams will make it more interesting. Luckily not side shafts, as that would mean more machining to get the disc brakes to fit new side shafts.

We sourced a donor diff on Tuesday afternoon even before we new what exactly it is.

The Escort will be up and running over the weekend.
