uk rear diff should be 3.54 not 4.11

As above as the centre diff on a UK box is 1:1.1 iirc, so makes the rear dif a 4.111 (combining 3.54 and 1:1.1).

As opposed to a Japanese 1:1 centre dif, that has a real 4.111 rear dif.

Mine did EXACTLY the same thing, had a twitch from the rear and no drive, jacked the rear up and the diff was ok, jacked the passenger front wheel of and was turning with all 3 others on the floor.

You 100% need a matched gearbox and diff, mixing and matching will make it go pop.



Basically either your rear wheels are dragging, or they are trying to overtake the front ones.
NOT GOOD, but you may be lucky if you`ve caught it quickly enough.
