veilsideTT Posted October 6, 2005 Author Share Posted October 6, 2005 Not going for anything in particular. Would like to see what it was like if it didn't cost a massive amount to change. 0-60 time would be awesome considering you can get to 59mph in 1st with this setup. I think it would improve 1/4mile times as well if you could cross the line having to only change from 1st to 2nd and not 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

MONKEYmark Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 i cant see you doing a 1/4 mile run with only 2 gears? i do it in 3 gears and have to change about finish line. what is the top of second in mph.dont you need other parts to fit the 6speed diff.

SupraSymz Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I just did this swop last week. The prop needed is shorter on the LSD, and the passenger side drive shaft is significantly shorter than the auto item too. (Basically, whilst both diffs have the same fixings to the chassis, the LSD is longer and wider, albeit the extra width is almost entirely offset to the passenger side. The UK LSD also comes with an electric pump on the top of it which needs wiring up if you're intending to really excercise the diff - the pump drives diff oil out to an oil cooler in the drivers side air duct.
