5.0 Transmission Service


My 5.0 diff was feeling crunchy, so I figured it was time for a rebuild.  I haven't serviced it since I built the car in the spring!


Transmission disassembled

While I had the transmission apart I decided to raise the diff height from 1.0 mm to 1.75 mm.


Sorting diff part from my B5m

It turns out that my 5.0 uses the same size thrust washer, thrust balls, and diff balls as my B5m!  So I can use my parts from my inventory of AE parts.  Also, the composite outdrives are cheap compared to the steel or aluminum versions, so I'll probably replace those every time I need to rebuild the diff.


Transmission service completed!
