More problems.....Diffrensial on the gearbox is broken.
In about 2000rpm the wheels stop spinning, and suddenly its connect again.
I think the spline in diffrensial has a crack inside
Here is 3mm more out then left side+leeking oil from the rubber ring:

Now i will take a break from the project for a while.................
