So I used the search function and think I figured this out...
I'm planning to order an LSD (torsen type) tomorrow for my 914 tranny. This will go in the car with the current 914 tranny for a few months and then be swapped to a 915 tranny when I convert. I want to maximize the compatibility of the LSD and that leads to my question. Should I order it with "coarse" or "fine" splines for the output flanges? From browsing the pertinent threads it seems that "coarse" is early 901/915/914 and "fine" is late 915. Does that sound right? To further complicate my question I will be converting the car to 5-bolt hubs around the same time the 915 goes in. To do that I'd use the famous 944 output flange/CV trick which is based on 914 output flanges which are "coarse" spline? So I'm thinking that I order "coarse" splines for the output flanges. This works as a no-brainer with the stock CVs and axles for today. Then when I convert to 5 bolt I go with 944 output flanges and CVs...right? Whew. On right track here? Regards, Kevin |
