Gripper diff - refurb "DIY"

[cliokongen]

Hi all,

As I need to strip my gear box due to it constantly slipping out of third gear under accelleration and going over bumps (unfortunately it is not an adjustment issue) I would like to check over my diff at the same time.

After a couple of years use I feel the diff is no longer as "agressive" as it used to be from new.
Does the diff have to go back to Gripper for a refurb or is there anything I can do whilst the GB is out the car and in pieces?
Sending the diff to UK is something I would like to avoid if possible.

Gripper diffs should go back to gripper every 18-24 months depending on mileage for a service.

Phone gripper and see if they say.

This. Mine went back 1000 miles ago, wasn't expensive for a replacement of 3rd Gear synchro and getting the diff "refurbed".

I know you don't want to send it back to the UK, but it's a plated diff and so will need rebuilding. That's why it isn't as aggressive as when you first bought it. Fit a Quaiffe if you don't want to keep sending the Gripper back to be rebuild.

Thanks guys.. I will contact http://davemacprops.co.uk/gripper.html where i bought it.
Ask if they can/will inform refurb procedure and provide the parts. If not it will have to go to the UK.
