Good Old Cosworth Centre Diff
Hi All,
Very old subject I'm sure but I've searched lots and not got an answer.
I have a type 9 4x4 box in my project car build which runs the gearbox the wrong way around so I get too much torque to the lighter front wheels (engine in back). I plan to remove the centre VC and weld up the planet gears to make it 50/50 torque split and then increase the lock torque in the viscous by uprating the fluid.
I can't see why it shouldn't work as the viscous would still allow enough slip front to rear to stop it locking the drivetrain up, I would still get wheel spin at the lighter front end from standing start but then the viscous should lock to transfer the power to the rear where the weight is. All I'd be doing is removing the 'torque' split feature of the centre planetary gears.
Thoughts?
