Spider Gears spider pieces
Was changing out my rear diff fluid the other day and just after pulling the plug, out popped a glob of metal chunks. Once I realized what I was looking at I pulled the cover and found more. I used brake cleaner and got everything shiny and then inspected the R & P. They looked to be just fine so I shoved my head in a bit further and put the light on the spider gears only to find them chewed up on damn near every end of the teeth. I wish that I would have had a good digital camera handy to get a shot of the spider gears but I don't. Here are the pieces,
Dropped it off at the dealership to get it fixed along with the Cruise Control. They are replacing the spider gears and the cruise contol assy. They said it was the first time that they had seen the spider gears do this on a Wrangler. We'll see what they have to say when I go to pick it up in a couple days.
