I ask because after recently repairing my diff in the sprinter
and driving it for a short period I noticed that second gear was incredibly difficult to slot in then when it would go in it would grind as it was being selected ut once in it runs fine...
Does it on down shift too.
I doubt it could be low oil.
Also of interest its a W55, I think.
I just find it strange, I didnt think that it would be damaged by blowin a diff I thought these boxes were sposed to be strong???
anybody have a any ideas?
and does anybody know if W58 gearsets will go into a W55 box?
Cheers Will.

So it feels like mine now Will?
Maybe the sheer knocking vibrations from that night u drove it home with the blown diff did something synchro wise? you wouldve been shifting from 1st to 2nd the whole time huh?

did any gear box bearings, brake? maybe you still have bits of metal inside the gear box.

I'd get a w58, however it is possible to damage your gearbox from running a buggered diff, take that from someone who knows...
