First off, I'm not qtiger.
Secondly, the gears in the transmission are most likely still fine. Not everyone is trying to build a race car here.
do you know how to read? i gave him the ups and downs of straight face gears. i also told him if his synchros are worn, he can have them bronze faced, which would save him from the cost of buying new gears. instead of reading what you want to hear, why dont you read what i write?
Thirdly, Quaife (only one 'f') does not make Torsen diffs. The Torsen company makes Torsen diffs. Yes they are similar in operation, but Torsen is a company.
and you are wrong again. quiafe makes an all gear lsd, torsen makes an all gear lsd. have you sat down with someone who has been building race cars, nitro draggers, alchohol boats, and tear open a quiafe lsd? probably not, but i have. it is a torsen type II lsd. open it up, open up a torsen lsd and compare...youll see they are just about identical. answer me this, does the quaife use high-helix angle INVEX gears or does it place all the gears on parallel shafts?
Fourthly, a viscous limited slip diff does not have a clutch pack, it has a viscous coupling consisting of an impeller wheel attatched to the input and output shaft spinning in viscous fluid. Hence the name. But you knew that.
a viscous does use "clutch packs" that sit in the viscous fluid. tell me what a viscous coupling is please..please explain this one for our viewers.
viscous differential-the viscous differential takes advantage of the characteristics of a special high-viscosity fluid. the two output shafts are connected to each other with a standard open diff and also through a multi-plate "clutch" with no mechanical contact (but very tight clearances). -Race Car Vehicle Dynamics, section 20.2.
read this book, as i have done. you can find it in your local university library.
in fact, i bet you cant even name 7 different types of differentials, but yet your gonna try to school me? you better step back down off your stool before i become enraged and started dropping pages upon pages of knowledge on your uneducated azz.
