Quaife LSD - help?
- Thread starter Kooldino
- Start date
hmm.. Is the quaife worth the extra money + fighting installing?
I have a chance to get one really cheap...
and I was wondering about how much $ you spent on stuff installing it(on bering/seals, etc)
Also, did all you have to do is grind down on the gate?
I just skimmed through the thread... I'll reread later when I have more time.

The Stock MSP LSD is a Joke...

I guess so.
My clutch replacement has turned into my Exedy stage-1 clutch, fidanza 7.5lb flywheel, AWR front + rear motor mounts, and quaife LSD install.
I'm running low on cash but I'd really like to have the quality + durabilty of the quaife.
And I'd like to not get stuck in debt trying to install the LSD.
I just need to know what all I need(and need to do) for the install since it isn't really a direct drop in.

As it, it's worth the wait to buy proper equipment, rather than being cheap and having to replace it once with crap and then finally with the stuff you should have got in the first place..

I've never heard of a Quaife failing. And if they ever do, you'll get a new one. They have a lifetime warranty.
It won't cost you any more to install this LSD as it would an MSP LSD.
Like I said, read this thread. I wrote a lot of step by steps in here.

Well, my stocker was an open diff, don't forget. It's a thousand times better than that.
It definitely grips better than the MSP diff as well, but it's hard for me to make a direct comparison on it since I've never driven an MSP that had as much power as my own car.
I have to say though, when I constantly read these threads about the MSP diffs breaking, it's nice to have the peice of mind with my Quaife.
I got the QUAIFE limited-slip differential today.
It came out of Chuck Hemmingson's #19 world challenge protege.
It has upgraded ramps and was used in one race only.
So, as far I know I have to purchase the following items for install :
-(1) speedo gear ($10)
-(2) axel seals($20)
-(1) bolt kit ($190)
-shims?

Alright - I finally have those damn rivets out + have the ring gear and bearings pressed on.
One quick question - Does anybody know where the second stainless steel ball goes?
I know one goes in one of the holes with the yellow spring.
But there's an identical one that I found the the remaining transmission fluid after I removed the gears that I have no idea where it goes.

"It goes on the reverse gear mechanism. Sits between that pie shaped peice with the long grooves in it, and whatever piece is closest to that. You'll see what i mean."

The #2 ball goes here!
