Dana... that is NOT the reverse mechanism... that is the main shift linkage... that is where I told Prodigy it goes. Where you told him it goes (the reverse mechanism) is where the one in my instructions goes where you are suppose to remove it prior to taking the trans apart... just wanted to clarify that before someone goes thinking the above picture is part of reverse.
Quaife LSD - help?

I didn't think the above pic was part of reverse, I was going off of memory, and couldn't find a picture to refer to (he didn't send me a photo when he asked me). I thought that the peice was on the reverse shaft, but again, I didn't have a picture to go on, so I was going off of memory. I haven't put the ball in that location in a year and a half, so please excuse the slight inaccuracy.
Whatever the case, it went in the peice that I described with the "long grooves" in it. Obviously the other ball can't go in until the trans casing is assembled.
Reasons like this is why I thought it would be a good idea to start the Transmission Internal Picture thread, so we have a collective place to look at pictures for reference, rather than racking your brain recalling where tiny parts go to answer someone's question. Post some good pictures in there, eh?
Hey at least you were helping the man . The grooved receiver may be on the same shaft as 5th gear and some of the reverse mechanisms... just isn't in/a part of the reverse mechanism. I think Prodigy was a little confused with what you told him, and then he told it to me and I got even more confused LOL. Now everyone is good.
Good idea on the thread for trans pics... I'll have to find all the piles I have sometime and put them in there...

Will the ARP ring gear bolts work with the stock LSD/Ring Gear?

No I broke my ring gear, diff itself is fine. Said **** it and ordered a new lsd assembly altogether. I'll put the diff up for sale here tonight.
Sucks for whoever gets to drill out the stock rivet things + buy the ARP hardware. =)
Be sure to mention to the buyer : They might have to grind down part of the h-pattern on the reverse lockout mechanism for clearance.

The rivets and ring gear were already removed, the welds ground down (from where the LSD was welded) and the diff re balanced to account for all of that. Grinding down the interlock mechanisim isn't a big deal at all.

Hey Prodigy didn't you come to Calgary one time?
So does anyone know the best difference between having the LSD welded (not shut - just enforced) and buying a Quaife? I know that the Quaife is a no brainer as far as reliability but money wise, its hella expensive and seems to be more work to install.
Yep... I usually go up there every winter break to go snowboarding.
Unless you're serious about racing autox, open-tracking, whatever... or have plans to get over 300whp stick with the welded msp LSD.
The Quaife doesn't take that much effort to install (unless you have to drill out the rivets).
