after a couple of months of planning and parts collecting i have finally started my transzilla build. it will using a normal 914 side shift trans, with a few up grades, i will be dialing in the ring and pinion back to spec with this build also.
i laid all the parts out on my assembly table to give you guys an idea of all the parts installed. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i722.photobucket.com-12492-1362881754.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i722.photobucket.com-12492-1362881754.2.jpg) |

A note, your adjusting of a used R&P does lend itself to close enough. I know for a fact that you do not need to be as precise as the initial build specs when putting a used R&P together. The stock kit works just fine. Also, being off from the stock numbers, even with a new R&P will only lead to noise and not much else unless you are significantly off. It will not destroy your R&P. The factory tech would get them mathematically set, then run them on a special jig and adjust for best noise reduction. That is the number on the pinion head.
Other differentials are set using dye-kem (sp?) or other gear marking paste and then checking the location of the wear patterns. Our tranzaxle makes a more easily detectable song than most vehicles so this extra precision is warranted at first (when new). ALL old R&P will make noise. That noise tends to sound a lot like all other differentials, but is easy to detect in the cabin. Maintaining pinion depth close to stock, which is what I recommend, is a good way to set it as quiet as reasonable without using special and expensive tools. Lots of cost, no real gain. |
