d-9 0 Posted June 10, 2006 Ive got my "diffs for divs" guide that i'll post sometime, its about fitting a quaife diff, but pretty sure its 99% the same for fitting a tranX Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cybernck 402 1 Cars Posted June 11, 2006 now you mentioned it, there's an article on fitting quaife atb on our website. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob Thomson 6 Posted June 11, 2006 Having major troubles at the moment with clunking etc. That's what plate diffs do, isn't it? The Gripper I've got in my 106 clanks and bangs like a bastard, but you forget all that when you get to the first corner and start grinning like a freak.

Miles 331 1 Cars Posted June 11, 2006 I take it you;ve modded the casing for the diff to fit and have used the Ford Bolts to bolt on the Crownwheel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
16v205 9 Posted June 11, 2006 The clunking sounds like the diff could still be catching the casing. Ive only fitted a tran-x diff in 3 different gearboxes, 1 being a gti-6 box and all 3 needed grinding on the casing in the same 2 areas. One grinding point is on the gearbox cover near a casting protrusion, and exactly opposite this on the gearbox case iself needs to be fettled. Ive not had to use ford bolts though to fit the final drive, after not being able to get them with the part number given at my local ford dealers I fitted the original peugeot bolts instead. If you split the diff as though you were going to adjust the clutch plates then you can get a normal socket on the bolt heads. Rich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mbayley77 0 Posted June 14, 2006 cheers for the replies guys. I have had a look at the guide and nothing different to what i have done to mine. I understand these diffs clunk to a certain extent when gripping etc but its not that. The whole car shudders when on full lock as if something is catching and binding up then releasing. A bit like a drive shaft has gone but I am on my 3rd set now so would think that it was not that. I have tried both 309 ones and 205 ones. Changed the wishbones (309 and 205). tightened everything on the subframe etc. Even changed the gearbox and still no joy. This is really getting me down and is the last thing i need to do to get the car running on the road / track. I have play in the rack but dont see how this would "bind" up. Also the wheel bearings seem fine but maybe something could be moving there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boombang 2 Posted June 14, 2006 You could drop the subframe, remove the diff casing and have a look see if tis been catching. If so you'll know where to grind it (just hope that nothing is damaged). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mbayley77 0 Posted June 14, 2006 If the diff had been rubbing would it give me the judder i get on full lock? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boombang 2 Posted June 14, 2006 Wouldn't have thought so. Sounds strange! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
