Guest Anonymous Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 get everything torqued/shimmed back together properly. Not exactly a DIY project, AFAIK. Most of the usual suspects (Korman, Ireland, etc) should be able to do this for you, but prepare to spend more than you would just buying a good used LSDiff. Bret.

Guest Anonymous Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Yes, rebuilding a diff quickly goes beyond the shadetree mechanic, but are the Quaiffe diffs a DIY type install? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 You also need the LSD housing output bearing caps as they are different then the non LSD housing caps. Other then that yes you can swap the center LSD housing, you need to ensure the ring and pinion stay as a matched set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 I saw the transmission guy do the Quaife conversion, and it didn't look that complicated, if you know a little about gears etc you should be able to do it. On the 2002 is best to start with a worn out LSD and install the Quaife unit. There are three problems with the Quaife: 1) Initial investment, high ($1000 plus install) 2) You need a lot of HP to really take advantage of it 3) You don't "feel" anything happening until it is really pushed (seldom), but believe me, its always working for you. I have a 3.90 lsd on Bacchus 2 that I picked up at pick and pull for $75, and you can't beat that thrill/expense ratio. Michael 4x72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 My understanding is that if the inside wheel lifts that the quaife is not effective- ie wheel spin. Is that the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 for us that drive fast but are not insane, that will never be a factor, the Quaife is used in racing and I am sure they would avoid uneven tracks, it is a marvelous piece of engineering.
