Hi all,
Kraton with stock diff oils lost drive after a bash around and a few jumps. Motor revved but Kraton barely moved.
Pulled all 3 diffs down in the end (I expected to find the rear or centre blown) and they look ok, no breakages. All diffs didn't have much fluid and the fluids were dark grey, full of metal fleck.
Motor pinion is tight, diff pinions seem tight although I only had enough time to check by hand. All other gears and shafts intact.
Bearings were gritty (will replace with rubber sealed) but none seized.
Could it be the old fluid causing an instant lack of drive?
I won't have time until later to investigate further.
Any thoughts on this one?
