Rover P6B Differential Pinion Extension Housing
I have placed this enquiry in the gearbox section because there is no Rear Axle section that I can find.
I have a second hand rear axle pinion housing extension that I am about to overhaul before installing it as a replacement item into my P6B. Then, the unit from my car will become the Rover Car Club of Australia's service exchange unit.
However, I do have some questions:
All literature I have found so far, informs that the harmonic damper must not be disturbed. The question(s) is (are): Is the harmonic damper 'tuned' to a particular rear axle's characteristics? Or, once the factory set the damper in position on the extension housing, could the assembly be swapped from car to car? And, finally, how serious is the situation with an ill-tuned harmonic damper and housing assembly installed in a motor car?
It is understandable that my aim is to be sure that an exchange system can operate reliably.
Thank you,
Mike Allfrey.
