Gearbox/Diff mods

Whats been done here? If anything.

It was posted by that clio turbo bloke who seems to have disappeared and posted along with the pic of the diff clip plate mod pic



This is a standard box



I can't see anything obvious but there must be some relevance to it being posted

[Chris H]

different boxes

bare case looks like a diesel/jc5 as the bearings are bigger on it

[Chet T16]

The 2 pics were just to compare.

I don't see any mods to it tho so i don't know why he posted the pic up

[Chris H]

because ones a JB3 the othe ris a JC5

[Chet T16]

So its just a standard JC5?

[MicKPM]

Looks like a very clean/new casting as well.

[Chris H]

I would imagine stock jc5 or modded jb1/jb3 to take the bigger bearings

I thought the bearing diamters were the same...its the type i.e one has parallel races, and t'other has taper rollers.

[Chris H]

as far as I was aware both have the parrallel (balls) but the bearing dia was different (extra ball), I can't say the last one I bothered to look at in detail though tbh.

Dunno for sure, someone buy both and break em

you mean this pic ?

[stan]

100% one uses taper, and t'other uses roller bearing...cant mind for sure, but im pretty certain JC5 uses taper.

Bearings for JB3 - 25x62x17.5

Bearings for JC5 - 25x59x17.5

It would appear people have misunderstood my question.

In this post
Clio Grand Prix TURBO!!!

Theres 2 pictures of a modified gearbox, the lower one you can easily se whats been done, i want to know what makes the top one different from a standard box

[stan]

Pass

[Chris H]

but I was right on the different sized bearings, so Craig in the most mature way possible, na na, na na, nananana

Chet I already said its either a JC5 standard or a modded JB1/JB3 to take the bigger bearing.
