No Nuts Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 OK folks, just taken delivery of my new Quaife ATB diff (one of my promised upgrades this winter - watch out class 2!) Now, the question is, do I try to fit it myself or do I take the "sensible" option and get someone to fit it for me (I mean the internals, I'm not worried about dropping the diff out of the car). Bear in mind that at this time, the 7 is my only mode of motorised transport. Another option would be to buy a s/h diff, fit the ATB to that, which leaves minimum downtime. Discuss. 😬 NN 😳 Lotus @ Herts Edited by - No Nuts on 17 Dec 2002 16:35:39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Road and Race Transmissions do a first class job - might be worth giving them a call. Very quick turn around and first class job when I took my CW&P in to be swopped Regards Anthony X-Flow-power; the real way forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Perry Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Seconded. Give them a call Guy as it won't be that expensive to install, and you do really need the correct tools to do it if you are not too experienced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Nuts Posted December 17, 2002 Author Share Posted December 17, 2002 Just spoke to Keith at RRT - looks like I'm going to go for a "new" diff and get them to fit the LSD to that. The cost (considering I'll end up with two diffs) ain't that great! Then it means minimum change over time! NN 😳 Lotus @ Herts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Mac Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 I've just had mine done and, after losing faith with the place I'd originally taken it to, I sent it to Quaife who did the swap over for about £90 in four days (including postage time). They were very pleasant to deal with, too, and really helpful after I got p****d off with the other lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE GILBERT Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 I fitted my Plate type LSD myself, but it was something I really wanted to do. With the Diff on the bench it only takes a few hours with most of the time spent measuring the backlash a gazillion times in a gazzillion places. I would do it again tomorrow and was one of the most rewarding jobs I have ever done, not least because everyone says to get someone else to do it. The Diff is still as silent as ever several months down the road. Also get a pukka Ford Ws manual though as you will need the tech splurb See My Zetec Power 7 Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
