Cost of new gearbox due to diff failure - £2500. Cost of Q2 - £500. Do you want to take the chance? My car has already had a new gearbox once due to diff failure, Nicky's 2.5 just shed its diff, he was only doing 20mph in a straight line at the time. Get it changed, is my advice
I believe it was actually Nicky's driveshaft that went, just took a chunk out of the diff when it went!
