Not a matched pair. I can't remember why but for some reason I tried installing a different pinion with a different crown. They appeared to match well (i.e. there was no visible reason why it shouldn't work) but the result was very short lived!

ok so found the problem, the bearing and 'race'  was 0.75mm bigger diamter so it would not go in, pulled the bearings original race from the donor gearbox and installed it, all went together like a glove. i also put the matching crown wheel in just to be safe, and shimmed the lsd centre up slighty, i would like to thank llyod from sirius for his guidance  :) im happy with the result, as i learnt to rebuild the transaxle, shimme up 105 and TS lsd centres and solved the issues of speedo drive and shifter linkage! hopefully can get the car going tommorow  ::)
