What Kind Of Brand Is This Diff

[wicked 103 3 Cars]

A friend of mine opened a gearbox that was sold to him as having a quaife diff.

But it doesn't look like the a quaife diff...

 

Anyone recognizes this diff??

If it helps it doesnt look like an ap sure trac atb diff nor does it look like my 3j driveline plate diff.

[calvinhorse 870]

It's not a tranX either

Any chance of a picture looking through the middle?

[wicked 103 3 Cars]

I'll ask him..

 

Could it be a ZF or something from PTS?

[allanallen 528 2 Cars]

Doesn't look like it IMO

[boldy205 75]

Doesn't look like a Gripper either.

[allanallen 528 2 Cars]

Defo not a gripper

[wicked 103 3 Cars]

So not one of these:

 

Quaife

KAAZ

AP sure trac

3J

Tran-X

ZF

Gripper

Which options are left?

[rallyeash 155]

Standard. Lol!

 

Yeah box has got a diff in it mate! Similar lines to a cammed engine with no paperwork.

Good one..

 

Maybe it's a converted one, like this:

Interesting!

It's not unusual for people to convert diffs to fit, but finding spares for an unknown diff from an unknown car is gonna be a nightmare..

 

Has it got no markings on it what so ever?

[calvinhorse 870]

You can see in the first picture it's had a huge wedge machined off it to fit the box

I'd be interested to see inside it. Is it definitely LSD, eg if you turn one driveshaft does the other side shaft turn the same way? Or opposite way?

[dcc 855]

that does not look like a plate diff.

[wicked 103 3 Cars]

It's not sold to him as being a plate diff, but a torsen diff / quaife...

[wicked 103 3 Cars]

For sure it's not a standard diff:

Nobody a clue? Could it be an diff for an other car that has the same spline pattern?

[welshpug 1,661]

There was mention on the internet of some peugeot vehicles getting LSD's of some type in certain countries (south africa possibly) though any specific details further than that I havent a clue about.

 

IIRC something like a Partner Van!!

[S@m 156]

You can get the LSD as an option in Berlingos/Partners in all markets, i've seen a few over here, usually used by the Forestry Commision and suchlike - usually comes with a metal sump guard and raised suspension aswell, they cost far more than aftermarket diffs but sadly i've never seen one outside the box so can't advise if that is one in the pics.

[allanallen 528 2 Cars]

Now you mention it I think there was a berlingo forestry van one advertised on BRF very recently, perhaps worth dropping him an email?

Says it's plated though which I'd say yours definitely isn't!
