Hi,

I'm about to order a Wavetrac LSD for my car, but I would like to know if there are other things I should preorder for smooth install.

As far as I understand both Quaife and Wavetrac comes without speedo ring gear, how can I fix that? Is there a part number?

I found this scheme: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/drivetrain-tech/181022-quaife-install-part-numbers.html

But there's nothing about that ring.

Also, shims, they can be different sizes, where can I get them, and will I need them?

P.S.:
People with Quaife usually says that the torque steer on FWD decreases, but people with Wavetrac says the opposite, is this normal? Should LSD increase or decrease torque steer, what happens with KAAZ or OBX?
 
I've fitted a Quaife in an auto & a speedo ring gear can't be fitted to it.
Front lsds are harder to steer if driven slowish & late through corners.
Turning 45 deg & less while on the juice is fine.
Hit the juice with steering turned more than 45 deg = hold that wheel.
You'll have to get used to rolling through corners a bit faster than Mom.
Cheers !
 
So you have no speedo? WTF

Turning through the corners faster than moms do is not a big problem :D
 
I'm refering to this car's auto which I built that includes a Quaife lsd.
It has no ring gear on the hemi to drive the speedo kog.
