limited slip diff options
Posted: 15 Sep 2007 11:10 pm
Sorry to start a new thread, I just didnt want to bump the older ones, particularly those full of rubbish.
We have already ascertained that OE 300 series diffs are rare beyond being worth any further discussion.
I believe no one as yet makes a diff to fit directly, although quaiffe would for enough cash and numbers. Personally tho Id rather a clutch type locker than an atb.
Diffs seem to be available for the 240 rear end (dana 30 diff) in both types, so what is required to fit the 240 diff? From searching threads I gather than the bolt heads on the crownwheel need to be carefully round down to gain clearance, and a chunk of the casing needs to be ground away further. Other than that, I assume the original drive flanges can be utilised in terms of length and spline count? I assume the crownwheel is of the same diameter, or if not then the diff body is so that the 300 series crownwheel can be fitted?
lets keep this one to a purely technical discussion of what is known, links to photos of it being done etc, not a discussion on the merits of different diff types, or the rarity of decent 300 rear ends, or whether an lsd is or isnt required.
Cheers
