Great tranny news- if rebuilding/swapping differential BIG short cut

OK Brian ran this by me last night and today as I was pulling the Quaife I decided to try this. SO- this goes for anyone replacing diffy bearings or the differential all together (quaife). Instead of dissassembling the ENTIRE freaking transmission which can take anywhere between an hour or longer, while you can skip ALL of that.

For those familiar in the tranny this is all you gotta do: Take the outer case off the tranny. Once inside, remove the speed sensor. Turn the tranny to its side and pull on the input and output shafts, to give them enough play. Theres probbaly 1/4" to 1/8" play but its enough. Simply grab a hold of the Quaife/open differential and pull and it comes right out. NO MORE TAKING APART AND REASSEMBLING THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, and my Quaife will be for sale soon, complete with speedo gear, final drive gear and 2 almost new bearings.


So this also means- if you need your diffy bearings changed and a tranny shop wants to charge you 10 hours of "dissassembly labor" tell them they are FOS.
