differential slack

[kawajohn]

HI All,

Are there any known issues with the diff on the KV6.

I have just had the clutch and slave cylinder replaced but noe have an issue with the gearbox which can be best described as back lash.

When driving in the lower gears in traffic if I back off the throttle to slow down and then start to accelerate again there is a delay in take up of drive and then it catches and drives normaly. It happens in all gears but is most pronounced at slower speeds.

Anybody have any ideas?

Cheers

John

Hi Kawajohn

Had the same problem ...my issue was a brocken

http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID001743

Part KKH101383 = nr 12 in the picture also known under :

Lower engine mount bracket.

In my case the steel frame of the part was brocken but if the metal isn't brocken the 2 rubberrings may have been worn.

In that case

After the fix smooth shifting and soft riding , and a perfect gearbox again.

Cheers Mintman
