    Thanks a lot to you both for answering my post that quickly! Your information has really helped me and so I can avoid cleaning the complete differential from Dinitrol in order to find the number. Thanks again! Regards, Peter

    Hi all! Can somebody tell me where I can find the identification number on the rear axle of my Tiger? I now that the number must be KA/64 1001 but up to now I have not been able to find this number. I don't know if the number is printed on a tag or printed in the axle itself, the axle is...

    Rear main or oil pan leak

    A scroll seal at the backside of the engine???? I thought that the scroll seal is at the front of the engine and by the way I have numerous times removed the gearbox from the engine without the engine leaking oil while that engine was tilted to the back.

    Electric problems

    Connect a multimeter between the negative cable of the battery and the negative terminal of the battery and then pull one by one the fuses and watch a change in the multimeter reading. As soon as you see this difference you have found the circuit which causes the problem and then it is a matter...

    Speedometer cable end not square with gearbox

    Thanks again Howard I will take your advice. I run 14 inch minlites and 185/60 tyres and the tyres are Dunlop Sport. I will do the calculations. Yes I can imagine the horror of this Hurricane in relations to your house and belongings. Luckily this kind of storms don't exist overhere. I had an...

    Speedometer cable end not square with gearbox

    Hi Howard, My Tiger has also the 2.88 to 1 and when you have 6 green teeth with such an nearly exact result of precision regarding the speedometer then I don't understand why the chart shows 7 teeth. It is a shame that the Parts list shows only the teeth of the drive gear ( 15 for the MK I and...

    Speedometer cable end not square with gearbox

    Hi hdar5702, was your Tiger a standard Tiger with the original rear axle? I asked this because in the chart which husky drvr proved there is mentioned that a standard Tiger has 7 teeth while you show a gear with 6 teeth. Very interesting! Thanks for posting! Regards, Peter

    Speedometer cable end not square with gearbox

    I think you are right in that the C-clip is missing. Maybe broken but then the question would be how has that happened and where are the broken parts now? Indeed I have seen the pictures of the helical gears but I wondered which one fits a TIger MK I. Some said it should be 7 teeth but I am not...

    Speedometer cable end not square with gearbox

    Thank you very much for all your effort to help me. The only thing I am not agreeing with (sorry for that) is the teeth count on the spriral gear, so far I have seen a count of 5 or 7 teeth. By accident I found a video on youtube which reveals a lot to me. The title of this video is "Mustang...

    Speedometer cable end not square with gearbox

    Thanks again! 1.But what is the function of the retainer clip (C-shape) and how is it working? 2. What is the number of the teeth of the helicoil gear on the output shaft of the gearbox (not the driven gear with the 15 or 16 teeth? 3. Has the original differential ( so without LSD) so called...

    Speedometer cable end not square with gearbox

    Sure this helps! Thanks again! I am surprised about the teeth count because on the internet I have seen counts of 5 and 7 teeth for the helicoil and for the Sunbeam Tiger I have seen a count of 5 teeth. I think you are referring to the other gear the gear that is stuck in the gearbox because...

    Speedometer cable end not square with gearbox

    Yes this helps a lot! One of my problems is that even with the cable out I can't extract the driven gear out of the gearbox that is why I asked how to accomplish this. So when I took out the cable from the gearbox there was no driven gear to be seen! Is there some span ring above the driven...
