B6 diff outdrives

[david85williams]

I got mine yesterday. Just need to fit them

[daz75]

Better service than AE they ignore tweets it seems

[stuey]

I just rang CML to see if they had any dates or info on the gear diff outdrives 91465. They are out of stock at AE, and no ideas when they might be available. Mine have only done a few meetings and are wearing already. Can you turn it around and wear the other fresh face out, or will that effect the braking? Otherwise it will be ball diff or sits on the shelf!!

Here is what associated say assume a delay in them coming here tho

Sorry for the delay of the parts, we have more expected to arrive here 10-3-17.

It's really poor of AE. These outdrives really are not fit for purpose. Some people have swapped the outdrives around along with the drive shafts.

I have now run the MIP roller pucks for 3 meetings with no visible wear.

I got the same date from them today via a FB message. They are clearly made of cheese, hopefully the new ones are a better material.

[daz75]

In my message i did mention the fact the current ones are made from the softest metal known to man

[Aire valley]

Just go for the MIP ones as mentioned above..not that much more expensive than standard out drives and includes driveshafts and pucks....problem solved.

[Novamartin16v]

Just ordered a set of MIP ones to from USA.
AE ones just shite & sick of waiting for stock,

[stuey]

Well the date has slipped by, not showing in stock at the TA website.

Does anyone know if you can buy the B6 gear diff washers separately or what sizes they are?

[PaulRotheram]

Does anyone have a link for the MIP alternatives?

[david85williams]

This is what I bought:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MIP16040-M...MAAOSwHMJYCoIK

This is for a gear diff only....

[Aire valley]

Also look on MIP,s website in the States......they have some sale items at the moment. I bought some additional roller pucks at half price last week.

[jim sykes]

i have on good authority that yz2 ones fit with a little dremelling
regards jim

[adey]

Just fitted yz2 ones. They require some work with a dremel but they do fit. You have to cut 1mm off the end that goes toward the centre of the diff and remove approx half a mm off the outer part that meets the diff seal.

Hi...

Here's a pair of yokomo ones that I machined for a friend to fit in his AE B6...

[stuey]

They look good :-)
I sent Associated another message on FB yesterday about the outdrives asking for an update, no response....

[PaulRotheram]

They sent one back to me about a week ago - mid to end of November. So i would expect December over here.

Maybe Santa can tuck some in his Sleigh for me!!
