Instabilities driven by differential rotation during spin down of a rotating solar model are analysed and it is shown that with a very small composition gradient, the first unstable mode is the axisymmetric baroclynic diffuse instability. It is argued that if this instability occurs, it leads to an almost horizontal re-adjustment of chemical composition and only very slight mixing. Mixing due to the 3He instability is energetically possible but it is argued that finite amplitude oscillations lead to a quasi-steady state without mixing with 3He being burnt to 4He during such oscillations.
