Want to change open to a limited Slip but was wondering if anyone did it or how much work is involved

i bought a LSD for a SS SC recarlo balt from the Junk Yrad for 100.00

 

Won't work. 2 different transmissions.

 

what wont work? LSD or swapping the one he bought....its a pretty hard job man...i bought the quaife LSD

 

Two completely different differentials. They won't swap.

I'm not sure, but there might be a different Quaife application for you. You could even pick up an OBX one and rebuild it, it will work just as good as the Quaife.

 

on a happy note.....that part you just bought is worth about a grand new.
and im sure someone would buy it for more than $100

 

they DO make it..i HAVE it lol...

and its recaro...

 

wat are the benefits of LSD? alot of ppl say that it doesnt do much....unfortunately, mine doesnt have it ....

 

Then maybe you could answer the OP's questions about the difficulty of the install. Last I checked, 2.4s weren't offered the option from the factory.

 

allows you to put power down through the corners far better.
instead of spinning your inside wheel.

 

You also have an SS/SC. He doesn't. It won't work. He needs to buy one for the Getrag tranny that he has, not the FGP from the SS/SC.

OP, it won't work, sell it, buy one specifically for the 2.2/2.4 or a 2.2 Eco Cavalier, that diff will work, it's all the same one. None of those cars have it as a factory option, so you have to buy aftermarket.

 

yea...maybe i should lay down and kick myself in the face...i appoligized i didnt notice he had a 2.4...

 

Blame it on the pain pills

 

lol im outta this thread...

 

or lack thereof?

Anyways, something like this would work great. No idea why the description says for the F23 but not the Getrag, probably a typo but anyways.....

With these differentials, they are built nearly identical to a Quaife. It is recommended though that you disassemble and clean it and also realign the bellevue washers for the max amount of pressure. Should last for quite a while.

 

well crap, will have to sell it then

 

if you arent racing or cornering hard, wat are the benefits?

...and rcmpayne, how much you want for it?

 

Because the F23 IS the Getrag

 

The getrag trans are a piece of cake to swap out the diffs compared to the mu3 (f35)trans in the supercharged cars. Maybe you could get the whole trans,mounts,axles and shifter out of a wrecked ss sc and swap it I just don't know about the clutch.

 

Clutch won't work unless you can get one custom drilled. The driveshaft bolt pattern is different between the SS/SC and the 2.2 and 2.4.

 

8bolt flywheel vs 6 bolt flywheel. MVP had one custom drilled It was expensive tho. If you want posi spend the cash on the quaif one It will probably work out cheaper in the end.
