quaife problem?

i have a rebuilt H22a with a quaife installed in the tranny along with a light flywheel (indigospeed). took it out for the first time and no problems while driving but noticed after driving around for a while, tuning the engine, that at low speeds would start to hear and feel just a bit of a rubbing/chattering as the engine slowed way down (even out of gear) coming off throttle.

today took out again. drives fine at speed through all gears but going slow the symptoms are even worse almost like a bit of binding. as the car/tranny cooled down it seemed to not be there.

checked tranny oil and its ok. nothing seems loose. only 30miles on the engine so far,

any ideas? is this something the quaife can do?

I've heard some thirdhand info that having the wrong preload on the diff will cause that. Did you install it yourself? How sure are you that the install went correctly?

preload measured exactly as per Helms manual. new bearings as well. shimmed accordingly.

after driving it again, seems it may be one of my CVUnlimited axles i had made.

its worst when going up my driveway and turning to the right.

Check the driveshafts first. It sounds like one of them might be binding.
