JackA1972 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 As anybody fitted a Limited-slip differential to a manta A? I would like to know how its done. Also I read on the internet that 'the axle casing may affect the offset of the back wheels'- any other problems? any help would be great.

upk Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I fitted one in mine a few years back, basically a straight swop, just had to get shim set up right etc to ensure correct fitting into existing casing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doveyte2800 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Hi, Upk is basically right in that it is an easy swop but you do need to get it shimmed correctly, and these shims are getting rare as are people who know how to fit them, however it may seem obvious but the limited slip must be either for that axle or a specialist one for the axle, nothing else fits. ( unless anyone knows differently). The LSD fitted to an A casing has no bearing on the axle width or wheel offset. Hope this helps.

399Road Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Jack, if you decide to buy one of Quaife's new ATB diffs, they will only fit with the smaller engined Manta's 3.67 crownwheel and pinion and need machining to fit the larger engined and Automatic cars 3.44 crown wheel. My mate Rob found this when he fitted one to his Manta A. ....luke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
611 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 They did do a factory option for the A of a limited slip diff, but don't know how hard it would be to find one these days. German eBay maybe? You could also try these guys, they do a lot of CIH stuff. http://www.enem.se/katalogen2.asp?menyid=2&B1=See+Chapter Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantaray Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 If interested, I have a Manta A rear axel with LSD and disc brakes, it is also set up to 4 link if wanted. Looking for offers around £800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
