hey,
anyone know of a limited slip option? i heard there was a way to put the VE limited slip in the VG tranny ... true or false? if so some links or some help
or is there just a limited slip option out there? im looking for something beefy!!
thanks

 

The VG auto/manual transmission case doesn't have room for a vlsd unit..You must use ve manual transmission..no other way.

 

Weeellll... You could use a VEAu+o Trans, but nobody has Successfully Transplanted one into a VG, be

 

so the VE tranny fits on a vg? wtf?

 

yep, a VE MANUAL will work on your vg, not the VE auto...Fairly common swap..do some searching in here for threads about it..

 

ya man..i know

biggest issue..the flexplates are different between the two engines, and are not swappable...there was some scuttle butt about the villager VG auto flexplate might work, but no one that i know of has ever tried it..

plus you will have a wiring nightmare to boot, not worth it imho....

 

so.. while on the topic of 5 speed.
whats so great about a vlsd?

 

basically IIRC the power goes to the drive wheel with the best grip, i would imagine its good for quarter mile racing

 

racing, winter driving, rainy weather....
good for everything, except being parked. does absolutely no good.

and for as jdmy as you are, I would think you would know a thing or two about cars. probably think tiptronic is another term for DUI, huh?

 

yeah the wiring would be the tricky part. you could actually use the stock VG TCU, but you'd have to add some extra wiring to get the VE's overrun clutch to function, since the VG tranny didn't have one. Tho perhaps a Quest TCU would work...

 

it makes the car driveable.

when i stopped driving my Maxima and started driving the Civic... even though the civic has the most pathetic engine of any car i've ever been in, i was still getting tire-spin all over the place, even with 215mm tires (compared to 195mm stock).

What it does is uses a thick fluid and baffle plates to resist the wheels' ability to spin at different speeds. That means if one wheel's in mud and one's on pavement, in a open diff, the one on mud spins and the one on pavement doesn't budge. With a VLSD, the fluid forces the one over mud to slow down some, and the one on pavement to start spinning (albeit still not quite as fast as the one over the mud, but enough to get you unstuck hopefully)



and yes, Dead2Fall.. my VG has a VE-5 tranny bolted on to it. you just need either hybrid axles (ve inner joint/shaft, vg outer joint) or VE axles and VE hubs.

 

im actually better at doing bodywork than mechanical, hence why i want to do my 3rd gens turbo myself so i can learn more about doing mechanical on my own.

 

so if have the chance to get it i shuld?
