Possible sollution for weak MTX differentials?

[Deaks2]

Hi everyone,

Now as we all know doing burnouts with an MTX is bad, m'kay, cause your diff is gonna go boom!

2 questions:

1) Will a hard launch with some wheel spin lead to the diff going? Does it have the same effect as having the wheels smoking?

2) Mazda uses the 2.5l and 3.0l Duratecs with a 5-speed MTX tranny. The bellhousings appear to be compatible with the Yamaha 3.0l in the MTX. Would this solve our differential weakness? Or do those particular Mazda trannies have it as bad as us?

Thanks,

DOM

Hi Deaks2,

Answer your questions:

1. Yes that does wear out the differential. Of coarse just driving the car wears out the diff. The question is how fast it wears.

2. The Mitsubishi should fit, but unless they have traction control, it will not fix the diff problem. What most of us do (or wish we could do) Is install a limited slip diff by Qualfe. Probably the cheapest and best trans mod.

Hope this helps.

Instead of buying the quaife you could buy IPT's LSD. The quality is just as high and its much cheaper.
