Had to do something? And you just couldn't rebuild it with new ring &
pinion & bearings?????
In the late 80s my TR3's diff was screaming. The Ring & Pinion gears had
worn to the point where the gears were sharply pointed. A rebuild with
new gears left it quiet. A few years later British Frame & Engine had a
sale on limited slips that fit the TR3, so my 3 now has limited slip
diff inside the TR3 axle housing. All without going to Japanese assembly
swaps. I suspect your TR6's diff was quiet and reliable for decades
before it wore out. If an assembly provides good decades long service
before it wears out, why not rebuild it to new spec instead of running
out and replacing it with a non-Triumph assemblies?
