Re: Differential Gear Thrust Washers

Well, curiosity got the better of me. I had planned to run it as is and working to just get the end play right, but the new gasket leaked after the third day of having fluid in it (gasket tore, sigh), so, knowing I had to do the gasket again, I took it down and decided to tear into it a little further. Here's what I found with that thrust washer I pulled out vs. a new-old one. Not sure what I pulled out of there was even for a Packard diff, unless it had just pancaked that badly.

So, we'll get those back in spec and do the other checks per the manual and get it re-hung.
