Had to do something? And you just couldn't rebuild it with new ring & 
pinion & bearings?????

In the late 80s my TR3's diff was screaming. The Ring & Pinion gears had 
worn to the point where the gears were sharply pointed. A rebuild with 
new gears left it quiet.  A few years later British Frame & Engine had a 
sale on limited slips that fit the TR3, so my 3 now has limited slip 
diff inside the TR3 axle housing. All without going to Japanese assembly 
swaps. I suspect your TR6's diff was quiet and reliable for decades 
before it wore out. If an assembly provides good decades long service 
before it wears out, why not rebuild it to new spec instead of running 
out and replacing it with a non-Triumph assemblies?
