Overhauling Disco front diff: Parts list or references
The Dark Side of Will:
In this thread: http://forums.amceaglesden.com/index.php?topic=22813.0
I discuss a built Eagle driveline consisting of a 4.0, stock flywheel and clutch, NV3550, NP229, non-c-clip D44 3.54 rear and and D30 Disco 3.54 front from a 4 cylinder Eagle.
I finally popped the cover off the diff... looks like it had some water in it. I'm not sure how that happened, as it's been sealed the entire time I've had it.
Does anyone sell an overhaul kit for this diff? Is there an overhaul manual anywhere? I'd like to replace all the bearings and seals. The gears may be salvageable via electrolytic rust removal (e.g. http://realfierotech.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=17528&p=142402 ).
Also, I understand that there are carrier differences between the D30 IFS and D30 axle related to pinion offset... is this correct? Where can I learn more?
EDIT: Interesting interchange info: http://forums.amceaglesden.com/index.php?topic=21608.msg207217#msg207217

Pinion length changed between 80 and '82 somewhere I think. This is why you should drain and fill all diffs when you get a car. Especially 4x4. If water gets near the breather and the diff is hot, the sudden cooling draws it in through the breather.
The early non-vacuum diff has a 1.5" longer hanger on the passenger's side. The later non-vac ones are same as the vacuum ones.
As for kit, check http://ringpinion.com
If I weren't broke right now, I'd take my diff over there so I could get all those parts for mine.
I have the 2.72 front diff from my '82 on the for sale pile.

There is a pretty good write up in the TSM. Have you looked there? Good luck!
