chief Member 166 Member For: 21y 9m 10d Location: Melbourne Posted 22/12/03 09:44 AM Author Share Posted 22/12/03 09:44 AM Good news! It wasn't the tail shaft, so I no longer have to wait for the 'balancer' to fix it. They had a good look this time and discovered that it was something to do with the diff / axle not geling too well (don't have the tech read out sheet yet). That was 'bout a week ago, and haven't heard the tinking noise since Whizzer that's probably your problemo mate.I will post when I receive the full details.Cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/7516-tail-shaft/page/2/#findComment-75833 Share on other sites More sharing options...
