Welded Center Differential VS TRE-spec Center differential spool VS
Speed Design 4 Spider center differential VS Quaife

Do all these have pretty much the same function? I'm doing the AWD conversion and am looking into one of these...but which?

They all have very different functions...
What are you looking for and what is your purpose for wanting one of these. Tell me a little more fella'

I am not AWD so can't tell you very much, But I do know this..

I have a freind with a 97 GSX who way back had the transfer case replaced by a shady mechanic.

he has since broke 3 TRE built trannys with QUAIFE center diffs.. the diff broke every time. .

he put a SHEP buitl tranny in with a welded stock center in it and within a week the T-Case broke..


come to find out the car had the wrong transfer case in it the whole time it was from a different year which was a different gearing, causing the rear tires to try and turn at a different speed from the front tires.. Thankfully Shepard let us know what had happened and hooked my friend up with a good deal on a new output shaft since it was destroyed too..

SO from this I can tell you a quaife is not a very strong differential it broke three of them because the t-case was putting excessive force on it all the time.. the welded center diff. was strong enough that it broke the t-case instead it it breaking..
