That's a fair point. Good performance without the oil pump faff.

Good news is I can no longer hear how many teeth the diff crown wheel has under regen.
Bad news is the diff can’t have been the only thing making a noise so I suspect the gearbox isn’t the healthiest.
So that leads to the question find another gearbox or ditch the whole motor setup and go gs450?
Yes, we heared the 3rd gear as well in two cars. I guess 3rd gear is the most used besides 5th :).

Fair play. I got the wheels spinning on my project for the first time in a while yesterday. Your project has been a big inspiration. Keep or up.
