Ayk Diff advice needed.
Posted: Thu Sep 07, 2017 2:35 pm
Hi guys and gals , I need people's views on something .
I just found a broken tooth on one of my Ayk Bobcats diff gears , it's just one half broken tooth on one of the plastic sun gears or the gear that is fixed to the out drive .
So I duly tracked down one of the later metal gears sets, these have both alloy sun and planet gears , it's arrived bnib .
My question is this , do I
1 use the complete replacement diff set or
2 use the metal sun gears and the original plastic planet gears .
The reason I ask is that alloy on alloy gears might wear more quickly than a mix of alloy and plastic .
What do you think ? I'm inclined to mix metal and plastic .
