Hi all,

 

I had another post about this but the title is about engine movement and not clunking noise

Anyway - thought i would share this as information.

 

Clunking noise when taking up drive was in the end found to be a worn diff pin - see below😜

The output shafts teeth look good to me.

 

Anybody think otherwise???

 

I cannot believe the pin did not break!!!! And thank god I asked the mini forum for help and found it - so thankyou all😁👍 

 

only 1 shim was in the diff - 0.020" -

 

What shims do you recommend to buy when installing a brand new X pin diff? (i know they are not in stock but have been reliably informed they maybe back in stock soon (weeks not months))

 

Thanks in advance

I have kept a pin I had which was just like that. Indeed lucky it didn't fracture.

There is a technical term for its condition. It is one word which begins with an 'F' and ends in 'ukked' .
