Ok I've done a search, but haven't found anything specific.

Here's the run down, I have a GT35R and 1.5 stage shift kit, and last night destroyed my A02A open diff on a full throttle change into 3rd.

The housing appears to be leaking, and the entire diff simply clunks constantly if it's in 'D'.

Few questions:

1. What would be broken internally? Spider gears only??

2. I want to go mechanical 1 or 1.5 way, do I have to purchase another open diff then purchase the Cusco centre? Or am I able to use the housing I have now and simply replace the centre?

3. What other options do I have if I want a 1.5-way mechanical diff?

Oh and if anyone is wondering why I probably need a 1.5-way mech...

This car gets used for:
1. Drag racing.
2. Burnouts.
3. Track work.

I don't think a Torsen will be up to the task...

Paul just to confirm one of your questions, you can definately use your existing diff housing if you get an LSD centre for a 30 Soarer/80 Supra (non-TT)



You bolt your existing crown wheel (gear) to that (Loctite the bolts!), maybe get new carrier bearings too and chuck it in

If it's a brand new clutch-type centre there may be some adjusting and run-in you need to do? not sure about that.

Also i dont know whether removing the existing bearings means you have to get the diff "set up" with the new bearings in.

Either way, the first thing you need to do is pull your diff out to see if the crown wheel and pinion are damaged, if they are you'll need to get another complete diff regardless

If you need to get the car running asap your best bet would be just to get another complete single-spinner diff and chuck it in, and build up a proper diff (LSD, new bearings, set up) in the meantime

There is a small difference in ratio, which can be found with Search . The TT diff is shorter. Either may come with a Torsen centre.
