Do any Std MTX75 boxes have an LSD fitted?? I cant think of any but maybe someone knows different

 

i was under the impression its easyer to carry out a three shaft or equal shaft conversion, meaning u dont need lsd

 

4x4 MT75 from an XR4x4 or 4x4 cossie has one fitted in the transfer case as standard

 

ooops, misread - didn't see the mtX75 part

for me

 

which mtx75 we talking about? mk5 rs2k or focus hydraulic clutch jobbie?

 

Ah right, As in what I already have fitted? Passenger side shaft straight to the hub and drivers side has a shaft bolted to the block and another shaft from that to the hub.

I always wondered why my shafts were like this. Still, It cant work that good, Cant get any traction.

 

I know of a lsd in a mtx75 box (mk5 rs2k) but it aint standard


I want one but funds are not there

 

I know the feeling, My engine rebuild is costing quite a bit more than i expected, Gearbox being uprated is looking pretty bleak at the mo

 

think quaiffe do one off the shelf for about Ł560?

 

Yup, get an ATB from Quaife, around Ł500+

I've got an MTX75 box in Leeds that you can have if you want one to butcher one mate.

 

Whats that

 

The thinking is equal length driveshafts help to minimise torque steer as the torque is transmitted to the wheels in equal lengths thus helping reducing the common fwd fault of it steering usually left on acceleration.

however it doesn't always work aswell as the theory as says it should.

LSD on the other hand is a bit different, one wheel will spin, this will lock the viscous diff and lock the plates inside together so you then have both wheels spinning, but usually you have the inside wheel spinnning on corners so the diff locks giving you much better tractio to get out of corners, and off the line.

 

Cheers

 

the atb diff is an awesome bit of kit a friend of mine was running one in a s2 with very high power could nail it in third with very little torque steer or wheel spinnig. but 300bhp 1st and 2nd gear its going to be a handfull in a front wheel drive car. the thing is with the quaife is that if any cv joints go you loose all drive not like the gripper diff which will still drive i belive
