Yes.

Back to your stuck stick.

Jess, Diff's (Diferentials) are complicated things, most of the blokes on here wouldn't be able to describe how they work!

Think about your Mini going around a corner, the inner wheel travels less distance than the outer, a solid axle would do wierd things to the handling!

The diff allows for continued drive to the wheels and to compensate in the speed / distance 'differential' of the inner and outer wheel.

Does that help?

Not as raunchy as what Matt said!

So much smut.
Now i must go to confession


My car did that once.


I didn't make it around the corner at first, i stopped to turn right across traffic and couldn't get moving until at 5-6000 rpm and a heavy clutch drop it moved, whilst spitting the broken cross pin and 5L of hot oil out the bottom of the gearbox all over the road.


Mine felt normal after punching the hole in the gearbox.


No jammed gears in mine.

I wasn't popular for staying up till 2am swapping engines over.

when you pull the box to pieces it might be time for a few bits like these for it


a quaffe diff out of a honda integra with double helical gears and good cv's
the do fit with a very small amount [less than a milimeter] out of the casing. There are std taper rollers to fit from 40mm carrier to 3" mini casing.
Then you go for a taper roller brg replacement for the pinion and in-put brgs. at least these will take some loads.
