lockers and LSDs

[Bruce2]

I think the slider mechanism is attached to the main case, not the bell housing.

ok, trying to dig up info on the web is failing, but I have found a small handfull of pics so far.

syncro trans

closeup of what I assume to be the bracekt for the locking acuater doohicky, care of gowesty

syncro trans, however appears to lack locking diff bracekt AND lacking any bosses to mount it?

run of the mill vanagon trans

[fastback]

yes as the pic's are showing the actuator goes on the maincase.
the switch on top is for indicator light that it is engaded.

Not all Syncro`s were fitted std with the Lockking diff
I know in South Africa all were fitted with both back and front wheels lockking but in some other countries not but think the LSD where available as options on the ones with out diff lock
I have also just last week acquired a Syncro diff housing with locker That I plan to fit in a 091 case
So I can use the syncro case as a jig to weld and machine the selector hole


One Q for you guys how much power can a locked diff handel on drag racing ? very hard launches

Well now I'm confused. I clearly recall seeing a bell housing with the actuator boss(es) on it. If that would fit, then it's how I'd have done it as then a different transaxle case wouldn't be needed, just a different b/h. Maybe if I get a chance after the first I'll see if Weddle has any of those parts laying around still.

[fusername]

the more info the merrier. maybe it was a simpler work around? Who knows. This project is gonna bug me forever, unless I can get my hands on a spare/junk 091 to play with.

, BUT u have to weld and machine the case to make it accept the vacumactuator and mechanism that engages the locker.
u shoul also take the bearing covers from the syncro diff.

Fastback have you done this to your beautiful fast Squareback?
The main casing is it Alumunium or Magnesium sounds like Ally only, so I can get it welded up at any specialized welding shop then ??
Help

Excluding those new 091's that Weddle brought in I'm under the impression that they are all Mag. I've been wrong before, but the Weddle-sourced 091's are the only cases in the U.S. that I know for certain are aluminum alloy.

So has anyone actually used the Peliquin Diff in an offroad Buggy?

Txh
no but i have played with the idea.
i use a 40% LSD in my tranny

could a solution be 094 syncro maincase but with a GeneBerg intermediate housing and thereby 002 gears??

[Flagbuggy]

Fastback I have mentioned somewhere in another post using the Syncro locking diff housing and it was not sugested for high HP aplications for drag racing
So I think I am going to try and find a LSD diff for me rather and sell the locker

[fusername]

well i think there are a few folks in this thread who would want to relive you of your burden then. I am extreemly curious to see if the extra traction will be worth the massive under-steer I expect to result from the locker.

Remember you can un lock it so it work like a normal diff.That was the reason I was looking in to the locker in my Buggy as you mentioned the serious under steer when the diff is locked.As I had a welded diff before and just getting back on the return road was a mission

Just think shipping from this side of the world would be redicoulus

[fusername]

yeah I am really glad these thigns exist. I have a blown trans that still spins fine, just leaks out a side cover due to a failing RP i assume, so I was going to try welding it to see how bad the under steer is, as the trans is disposable. Then this option came a long, and I am much happier as it gives me an excuse to convert to 091 from bug box in my rail.

There is a Bus 002 ZF in this pile of bits. Its all destined for my notchback. In the near future I hope to have an 091 ZF sitting next to this 002 ZF to show the differences.
