I actually looked after that box, even gave up with the lazy gear changes and using 5th as an arm rest, the last one took 40K of abusive driving before the diff collapsed on it.

Planet gear broke up at a guess, most common thing or it shed a tooth or 2 thru the bell housing, Seen loads like that and it's not just MA's that suffer from it
