hi
i run my xb8tq for the first time on sunday. Every thing was well
till i got home and found my centre diff was tight and notchy and would some time lock up
upon taking the diff apart i found that the diff oil 5000wt had turned black
and one of the teeth on the crown gear had a chip in it
is it possible that i cooked the centre diff as i am useing an rb c6
and run on a high traction track
any help would be wonderfull.

doubt it was the motor....

could be a slight defect in the gear, i have never heard of a diff breaking.

maybe call your distributer and see if you can get it replaced.

I have been running the TQ with 3-3-5 for 2 months now with no problems. No signs of wear to any of my gears. My old XB8 has 12 or 13 gallons through it with not a wink of trouble from the driveline.
