Hi AllI'm currently in the process of designing a diff with reverse (actually gearbox engineers is )and hopefully make some for sale So if you were going to buy one what would your wish list be ?mine ,gear or wet chain from engine quick change gears with same ratios as quick change dif 2.19-9.14 at about 200 rpm intervals as narrow as possible Your comments would be great
no a cushioned drive coupling of the engine ,gear drive back to the top of the diff case and revs gears ,the pics are of the quaife of which there are a few different options its really similar to yours just all gears but it could end up with a wet chain from the engine just depends what will work bestmy original designs is all gears most just from quick change gear sets and I only had to cut 3 gears ,But really I'm just asking what features you would like if there was one out worth buying I still haven't found one especially when power levels start getting up there except for a few one of kind units like yours .I cant really tell you what it will be or look like yet till I talk to the guys designing it (this started will me asking them for a price to cut my gears for me, they design and build race gearbox and military stuff)
well i can tell you the stock diff out of the ford focus works well in the jeffco and would last longer had they not turned the bearing surface down to use smaller bearings than stock and left a square ledge for a stress point which is where they break if and when they break there.
There is nothing similar with mine and the quaiffe units that i know of. Help us out here a bit. Is the engine mounted in the traditional way or transverse? If mounted traditionally,the engine will be offset way off center. If transverse like mine , how you going to couple a box with a side input to it? As I said I'm now (more than) a bit confused as to what you are trying to accomplish.
