I am putting in a Quaife TBD. I pulled the shims/spacers off the old differential. and did not note which went where. One is around .010" thicker than the other. Was this how they set up ring and pinions back in the old days? Is there a spec for this somewhere?

I found this on here.
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...96&hl=trans Very interesting in that he also feels that the lash on the R&P is overlooked. I'm putting in this sort of differential so as to maximize the traction ability at lower speeds. It as fairly apparent I will need some sort of tooling for this, which I can fab up on my lathe. The old differential and the Quaife are machined the same, as far as critical distances across the case go. BTW, the staple answer is to use the same gaskets the transaxle had from the factory, never mind any shims on the differential. I think I am going to have to trial and error it until I am happy with the pattern and then do some math to configure the Quaife. |
