Re: Group purchase Torsen type front limited slip differential - COLLECTING DEPOSITS
This is an upper limit, because the actual pitch diameter of the ring gear is smaller than 7.25", but...
Assuming the ring gear's pitch diameter is 7.25", then:
3.42 pinion pitch diameter = 2.120"
3.08 pinion...
Re: Group purchase Torsen type front limited slip differential - COLLECTING DEPOSITS
I get that too. I'm fine with using whatever bearings and shims show up in the TB 3.42 diff as set-up parts for the fit check. Clearly I'd have to get some extra sets of shims to get it set up correctly, but...
Re: Group purchase Torsen type front limited slip differential - COLLECTING DEPOSITS
I get that. I'm proposing a way possibly to work around it. By shimming the case halves apart, I can increase the distance between the ring gear and the pinion and allow for a bigger pinion. What I don't know...
Re: Group purchase Torsen type front limited slip differential - COLLECTING DEPOSITS
I assume you're replying to this.
If I could borrow or buy your gears, I'd check it out myself. The TB diffs can be had pretty cheap... but I'm in Afghanistan right now and won't be able to check try out...
Re: Group purchase Torsen type front limited slip differential - COLLECTING DEPOSITS
How much do the 3.08's miss by in the TB housing?
The way the housing is split, a 0.060 laser cut steel (or aluminum) shim could go between the housing halves. Add 0.060 shim behind the opposite carrier...
Re: Group purchase Torsen type front limited slip differential - COLLECTING DEPOSITS
Not impossible, just extremely difficult? :P
So I'll have to find a 3.08 assembly and a 3.42 TB diff and see if I can get the two together for a party before I order the Torsen.
I haven't read all 17...
Re: Group purchase Torsen type front limited slip differential - COLLECTING DEPOSITS
I couldn't send you a PM because your inbox is full.
So for the earlier style front diffs which use the 3.08 gears, the 3.08's use a different housing than the 3.42's or a different carrier?
Re: Group purchase Torsen type front limited slip differential - COLLECTING DEPOSITS
Interesting. My application will be BMW E46 M3 with front suspension and subframe from E46 330Xi or similar.
BMW has their large case rear end (good for over 800 HP) available with 3.07 gears, which are...
Re: Group purchase Torsen type front limited slip differential - COLLECTING DEPOSITS
I have a project which will end up requiring the TrailBlazer oil pan and front diff for an LS engine.
Do we know if the Quaife units fit that case?
Also, my project would work best with 3.08 gears... I...
Re: 2017 Mark Williams 4l80e to Borg Warner 4472 input shaft
Argh. I didn't get the reply notification for this. I just happened to check.
Paypal sent, although I was an idiot and sent it for goods/services. PM me how much they charge you and I'll cover it (along with the shipping charge).
Or...
Re: 32 spline transfer case input shaft question (white scoop)
Thanks. I've put down my deposit for that one, but was just wondering if there was something I missed in the market.
