    Has something gone drastically wrong?

    Hi James great to hear from you Thanks for that, this clutch does have 6 I think, 3 pairs of different sizes and I do hope it settles because WOW! What do you know about the running temps of the boxes, I thought they would be similar, and what’s the proper way to do the front pinion seal, or...

    Well thank you for that, I’ve started a thread on here asking about clutches. I spoke to Luke at LOF earlier who recommended the tgv one for mine due to the 33’s and it being turned up.
