Thanks @Mooseman for the time you spend on my case. I've already read the thread on ORTB about the G80 rebuild, I've spent hours searching about G80 parts. The parts are available on rockauto, but the prices are insane !!!! Looking at the new clutch discs, I assume that mine are really...

Decided to go ahead and disasemble the pumpkin to see if all other parts are serviceable and decide if this 8" worth a nex set of spider gears, Here is the sick one my question is, on the ride plates pack , they look shinny and mostly smooth: and on the left pack, side with slotted...

@Mooseman don't split a spare diff for me, you may need it one day. If someone have swapped and have an 8" with spiders ok it would be better. For the bearing I think I can find good quality Timken right here in France.

@TollKeeper if I'm correct the kit you linked is for an open diff ? I have a doubt about fitting for G80 equiped diff .... For the half shafts bearing I'm sure the shaft are ok, the chineese bearing I removed have an outer race diam about 70,95mm whereas OEM are 71,2 that's why it was free in...

I think the main groove is normal, it's to stop the bearing when you instal it, I'm gonna re-check the half shafts but they look ok. I dont think the wrong bearing shaved the tube. Gonna double check for sure. For the spider I appreciate your proposal @Mooseman . If you go to the yard I'll also...

I never deal with french shop, they sell parts a lot more expensive than you can buy directly from USA including shipping and customs charges

The race wich was spinning is not the pignon bearing race, it's the axle roller bearing on the outputs of the axle near the wheel. And I figured out that the bearing the guy installed (made in china) has a smaller diameter than oem. I know spider gears for 8" with G80 are expensive, if someone...

Long time without working on the TB (bought an old family house to refresh from the cave to the roof 😄 ) So let's talk about rear axle, pre-owner replaced a shaft bearing, and I found the external cage can be rotated by hand in the axle, what a surprise when I removed it , this guy cut out the...

done :2thumbsup:

Thanks @Mooseman fot the quote, but @Harpo is right, I don't wan't to pay overseas shipping for a complete tranny, just gonna buy the missing parts and rebuild mine :biggrin:

Hey guys, after a long time off, some cleaning and replacement of rear axle seals and gaskets. Unfortunately, I ordered parts last november at Rockauto, package was heavy so i decided to wait and ship to "goodies and family" in Murietta. They usually fill a container and ship it once a month...

There is another reason to install this stuff except gasoline cost in France. In cities in France, you have restrictions to drive your car, you are categorized by a number "crit'air" it depends on your car's emissions, recent cars are better than old cars for emissions, and when you have a LPG...

Gonna clean the interior with "tornador" and a good "all purpose classic " cleaner. Most of the time, the shipping is really a problem, when I order parts , I'm just shot with shipping cost, it's often more expensive than the part price.
