X gear diff grease

[Gavin Collingwood]

I'm having diff troubles at the moment, I've recently put new diff plates/thrust plates and ceramic balls throughout. But ever since I ran out of the x gear diff lube that came with the kit and started using AE diff lube, not only have I lost the ability to loosen the diff as much without it barking but (and this is the main problem) after only a few runs/ 1 meeting the diff goes crunchy. This has only happened since I've stopped using the x gear lube. The main problem is I'm really struggling to find anyone who actually sells it???
Can anybody help?

Hi Gavin,
We sell the Xgear Thrust grease XG152
And the Kyosho Diff grease 96506

Pretty sure normal guys stock, Inside Line JE etc!!

I am surprised you have a big issue with the grease you are using unless its old and got some crap in it??

I've bought some kyosho grease from inside line and hopefully that'll solve it, other wise I'll change the main gear too and see if that works. Then it'll be practically A new diff. Otherwise I'm baffled. I used to be able to run the car at 4-6 meetings before a rebuild was needed at the minute it needs doing every meeting and it's doing my head in.

Sounds like its more of a build problem than the grease as such, you shouldn't be re-building it every meeting. I'm sure Carl will sort it for you . Good luck. :thumbsup:

It's not a build problem I know that. I'm quite meticulous when it comes to that. I'm pretty sure it's the grease as it works perfectly when it's been rebuilt.
