>a) I've gotten the impression that going LSD requires 3.08 or above,
although Dale A says one can fit one to 2.88's w/a little machine work

I think the difference is how far to the side the ring gear is spaced. For
example, I have a 4:10 and a 3:31 gearset laying around, and the pinion gear
is pretty small in diameter on the 4:10 in comparison to the 3:31 set .
Consequently, the ring gear is closer to " center" with the 4:10's . I've
got these laying around handy if you want to have a look at them.

me what he said was the last uninstalled Gleason Torsen (sp?)
>unit of a batch made for Tigers. Thus, I assume the other LSD's offered are
of some other type. Other thatn a dimly-remembered article in R&T years ago,
likening Torsens to worm-and-roller steering, I don't know much about them.
I'll try and dig up an article I have that explains them.

out there.
It's my understanding that these are Dana 44 units. If that's the case then
there should be a sh*tload of parts
available for them via the 4X4 offroad suppliers as a lot of 4X4's use the
Dana 44. There could be differences that I'm not aware of..........comments
anyone ??

Hey, I'll help with the Tiger........but I _won't_ attend a Nissan tech
session. :~)
