Are you wanting to fit a Quaife LSD (limited slip differential) to gain more traction? In this video I show you whats involved and go through the process of changing the standard differential out for the Quaife LSD unit. I also go through and disassemble clean then replace all the bearings in the m32 transmission. M32 is the model of gearbox and Quaife is a leading manufacturer of performance gearbox's/LSD's. They also have a lifetime warranty on the LSD! I try and keep it simple and straight forward to understand.
Let me know what you guys think of the vid.....took ages to make and edit so all your feedback is much appreciated!
Thanks alot :)

brilliant video mate! as a mechanic who has stripped and rebuilt many gearboxes, i didnt disagree with a single thing you said, which does not happen often on the internet! excellent

Thanks, I appreciate the comment. For reference this gearbox is still working well 5 years on. Even tho I don't do huge milage in my vxr when I do drive it I kick it's head in so to speak. 310hp with around 100 5000rmp launches! If doing this Box again I would make the bearing clearances slightly tighter. SLIGHTLY.

Good vid bud. So to fit the lsd, the gearbox can be left on the car but all I have to do is pull driveshafts? Nothing else? Obviously I’m gonna drain the oil first before doing anything but just pull out driveshafts is all I do before fitting the lsd?

BoostHit having trouble with this be lsd mate. If you can shed some light for me. Pulled driveshafts out, removed all bolts from cover apart from the 3 small ones that sit on top. Been working underneath the car so it’s the 3 small bolts on top if you can picture that. Cannot reach them.

Nice video, not that I can do it myself but it’s good to see how it’s done. I have the M32 in my Fiat Bravo Tjet, I’m at 88k and getting some slight whining in 2nd and 4th, no other issues. Would you recommend changing the oil and see if that helps? I don’t think it’s ever been changed. I’m looking to fit an lsd in a few months, how is it to drive with it? Does it affect the every day drive? Thanks

@boosthit811 5 жыл бұрын

Hi, thanks. Changing the oil may help, worth a try. Im using the quaife auto torque biasing diff so its very easy driving/turning etc. They use a gear system so there is no "clutch style" disc packs that can cause scuffing or heavy steering when turning (more suited to track/race) but for me the main bonus of an ATB diff is they don't wear out.

thanks for uploading these, very informative videos! But a question rised in my mind: How did you actually measured each gear packages shim clearances?

@boosthit811 4 жыл бұрын

As far as I'm aware all you can do is eather measure shaft end float or go by feel (drag on shafts while turning) most I know go by feel.....I.e too tight shft will require alot of effort to turn and or be unable to turn by hand. Too loose and shaft require very little effort to turn and or have play plus almost sounds loose as turning. In that video I setup a bit on the loose side. But engine and box get hammered and so far so good.

Also I set my bearings up on the loose side, I would probably go I touch tighter on preload next time.

Hi, nice video.. couple of questions. What torque setting is the input shaft bolt? Two shafts I see have circlips and one a large washer hex. Also if I'm just changing end case bearings can I use the original shims ? Cheers.

@boosthit811 5 жыл бұрын

Hello, input shaft was just nipped up tight with impact gun making sure to use a high strength loctite. Do up bolt most of the way by hand to stop thread locker flying off.

@boosthit811 5 жыл бұрын

The 6th gear pair are on the end of the shaft's close to the small end case bearings so it's the easiest gear to get off. If it's the m32 gearbox then should be the same.

My diff on my Corsa vxr nurbugring 2012 is whining when I'm driving, can I ask is it a pretty expensive job to fix I think on the vxr nurbugring version the diff is different than on the standard vxr, I think it's a Drexler limited slip differential can you tell me if that's true thanks pal?
