Bought a s54 tranny from a guy in Minnesota. He says it has a quaife. It definitely has an lsd, just want someone familiar with their fair share of differentials to confirm it is in fact a quaife.
If nobody can tell, how hard would it be to crack open that side of the tranny so i can look for a part number or insignia? Not familiar with tranny guts so i would rather not mess anything up. Any other advice or opinions welcome. Pics below.    -------------------- QUOTE (Azncelica @ Mar 4, 2012 - 11:43 PM)  I started with what I know to do, I swap engine into my car, I knew it was too much work to make it a AWD. I kept it FWD. Went to take a crack at doing the wiring conversion. Than, I realize, shoot, this is out of my league. |

What type of Lsd is the quaife? Mechanical clutch type? As this is what my TRD LSD is and it has no bars just a gap like yours

I just installed a helical into an s54.
Taking apart the trans is not really a good way to go about checking. There's a lot that has to be removed before your reach the diff. I documented a good portion of my rebuild so you might get some answers there: http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showto...0487&st=340 I would just send a picture of the axle hole to quiafe and ask them --------------------  |

I know, the e153 viscous diff has a bar just like the s54 open diff. Except the e153 has a thicker bar. This caused a TON of confusion on the forums over the years..

Thats my transmission I sold you, it is a quaife, pull the mechanical speedometer drive that I have on it and take a peek inside, do not open it up unless you know the torque specs and your familiar with working on manual trans. The one I used is the one for the 2zzge transmission which is the same parts number as the s54.
