- Clean Your Diff Correctly
The next time you rebuild your diff and you’ve removed the old diff balls, spray some plastic-safe
motor cleaner on the diff gear to clean it off. After that, use a pipe cleaner and run it through the diff
ball holes. Inspect each hole to make sure that you’ve cleaned them thoroughly before you begin to
install the new balls. This will ensure that you’ve gotten all the dirt and grime out of the diff ball holes.
- Filling Diffs
Always fill the differentials with grease/oil until the gears are covered, or even lower. Don’t overfill!
You’ll have oil leakage.
- Diff OutDrives
Apply a small amount of grease into the axle of the diff outdrive to ensure smooth turning.
- Diff Gears
Check if the differential engages smoothly before filling with the grease/oil.
- Diff Sealing
If the diffs have inadequate sealing and oil leaks, apply a small amount of silicone in the contact of
the two-diff housing parts (after you build it of course!)
- KIT BUILDING - Transmission Assembly
Transmission Assembly - Apply a thin bead of Black Grease between your transmission cases with
you assemble the transmission. This helps to keep the dirt out.
