Quite a common fault. The standard diff is the weak point in the ST
Everyone save for a Quaife they rule lol! ...and yes get a new clutch at the same time to save on labour costs

Oh dear another one. There must be two or more people every week that blow them up - they are crap boxes!

I've had nothing but trouble from the gearbox, diff, and clutch since getting the car. The IB5 is just not up to the job in a car like this!
