Great vid. Thank you! Can you PLEASE do a vid that shows how VW/Porsche sets the pinion depth and how one might make their own tool or use the factory tool? I can’t find info on this ANYWHERE.

[@RustyGlovebox]

Great info EZ ,Thanks for showing the differences.

[@TheEZGZ]

+Rusty “rustyglovebox” Glovebox I sure there is more but while I was cleaning up I thought I would show some of what I have in the money pit

[@elbowsmalone3079]

I learned something. .. thanks for the video

[@TheEZGZ]

+Elbows Malone Me too. I learned that much of the stuff I have been saving is just used parts I probably won't reused. hehehe

[@spanermantim]

I will be installing a cross pin diff in my Mini. The standard one isn't very strong. The last one broke taking the case out and dumping all the oil on the road.

+Greg's Garage There is so much in my head it hurts sometimes. Like a book with the pages and chapters all mixed up. LOL

Is there a limited slip for these? For myself I’m talking about my 73 bug with the IRS

[@TheEZGZ]

There was one or two company's that made them years ago but not very popular. Most race cars got the front wheels off the ground without them. These folks wagen bugs suffer from under steer and I think a LS would just make it worse. Not to mention these old tranny's have a lot of miles on them and add more power and stress would shorten the life IMHO

[@MrGuitarguyadam]

TheEZGZ I agree with you there, limited slip would make the understeer a lot worse. Although... in my case I’m extending my wheel base about 5 inches in the rear, inch and a half in the front, I imagine this will help with understeer quite a bit more than the stock wheel base.

ZF of Germany made a true LSD with clutches. Quaife of the UK makes a Torsen type diff for IRS VWs.

Hi EZGZ could I use another gearbox spider gears to fit in my diff? If i change the R&P from 3.88 to 4.12 will i get a higher top speed? lastly which gears 3rd & 4th form which gearbox could I use to get a top speed of 220km/h out a 1776cc. kind regards

[@New777World]

Did you get your question answered? also i though the 3.88 R&P would give you a better top speed than the 4.12, at least thats what the transmission builders advertise in there transmission rebuild upgrades! also curious to ask you why do you want change the ring and pion from 3.88 to 4.12?

[@e-curb]

A 1776 doesn't make enough power to push any car to 220 km/h. It is not a gearing problem.

[@wilraider]

Hello friend, I have a fiberglass buggy, I want to improve grip and off road performance. could you tell me how you blocked the differential? in your video the second of which you speak is what interests me, I could not see well as you did. I appreciate your help and your time. greetings from Yucatan ...! William
