Quaife ATB or LSD. where too buy
Driving around with a turboed 2,0L DOCH on a FWD car when the roads are covered with ice 6 months of the year, are no fun.
So i registered here and started too search for info. a search turned up a quadrillion matches, but i didnt really find much usable in the first 10 matches so i gave up (flame suit on) My 88 626 Coupe (basicly a 1 st gen MX6 with a 148hp NA 2,0L DOCH motor) have a G type tranny wich i feel need a Quaife ATB or an LSD. (especially now, after i turboed it) The problem are that the ATB are not aviable from Quaife anymore (USA and UK) And Guru`s alternative for the 88-91 MX6/626/Probe turbo does only fit the H type tranny (wich i dont have or can find easyli) Could you tell me where i can buy one, or an LSD from a Protege i have been told that some Proteges was equipped with a G type tranny with an LSD, but have no confirmation. Urls or other info would be great. Finally i want too excuse my poor writing skills. (this is not my first language) |
i cna get teh quaiffe for $1500 or you can find a used mazdaspeed Protege tranny and axels and swap those in

Waitaminute! The roads here are no picnic, either. If all you are concerned about is traction in poor conditions, get a good set of winter tires. I don't think I would invest in a limited slip diff for my car unless the torque was higher than it is, and unless I was serious about heading to the track. As it is, torque steer is not a problem, and I spend more time dreaming about racing than actually doing it.

I dont have a FS engine, its the far more rugged FE DOHC. But since both trannies are the G type, it should fit my stock tranny

I do also live in an montain area, with Pikes Peak like roads. |
alright this is bugging me its DOHC(Dual Over Head Cam). Second an LSD just might be overkill cause instead of torque moving from a slipping wheel to the other called an open differential, an LSD locks the 2 wheels no matter what so cornering takes a hit there. Your choice though, to me $1200 seems a bit steep just to get around but i live in Nebraska not the mountains.

You can get it from corksport

Im struggling even with tires who have won the latest 3 years winter tyre tests here in Scandinavia (Nokian Hakkapelita Q) I do also live in an montain area, with Pikes Peak like roads. |
Also check Horsepowerfreaks.com, they have a Quaife listed for our cars. I have a B&M shifter ordered from them, so far they have been great to deal with.

Another possibility is mazda3online.com (formerly protegegarage.com). I just found out today they are back in business, they list a Tochigi Fuji limited slip diff for $625. If I am reading the site correctly, this is the same diff used in the MSP. Go to their site, look up 99-03 Protege, then look under Mazda Performance Parts. The diff is on the second page.
