lumpy Forums Junkie Location: Adelaide, SA Registered: May 2002	Re: diff failures :( Wed, 10 December 2003 03:16 My diff noise was awful when freewheeling, but quietened down when under load/acceleration. Those datto's are tough - I blew up 3 gearboxes in it (layshaft bearing failure), and on 2 occasions drove the 40Km's back to my parents place to replace them. Once I started the journey (through the hills) with 4 foward gears and no reverse (pushed it out the driveway ) and by the time I got home the howling, whining and shaking gearbox only had 3rd gear working!! I thought it was going to blow up!! . Still, it saved $100 in towing/trailer hire, and no gearbox cost me more than $50!! After years of abuse the tally was 1 motor (was defected for excess smoke), 3 gearboxes and 1 diff. No part cost more than $50 to replace, except when I bought another 1200 to wreck for $100 (minus $17 in change I found under the seat!)
