LSD, A possible alternative.
Posted: Sun Aug 07, 2005 5:22 pm
Ive got my suspicions that the KB Rodeo/Shuttle/Jackaroo centres are the same as the piazza one. In LSD form if you can find a Jackaroo one possibly in the Rodeo too. I dont think they offered LSD in the shuttle.
If someone can check the Piazza manual against this data for me.
Banjo type, semi floating.
Hypoid gear.
Bevel gears 2, Pinions 2 (open wheeler)
LSD option, 4 pinion dual disc. (i think thats meant to be dual pinion 4 disc looking at the pics.)
194mm crownwheel diameter.
Backlash 0.13-0.18mm.
Pinion preload, Colapsible spacer.
Side bearing preload method, shim.
The ratios ive got are 4.555(41/9). 4.1(41/10) for Jackaroo and Rodeo (81 models) it doesnt state what is in what. 4.777(43/9) for the shuttle auto and diesel and 4.555 for the manual petrol. It also lists a 5.158 for the real early shuttle but i doubt you find one here in australia. The shuttle books cover all models.
I rekon 43/10 would give you 3.9 same as the Piazza.
Ive got the TF Rodeo books here, it lists the 194mm diff too, but only for the 2.3L powered few at a guess, it doesnt actualy state what is in what. The actual diff used in the 2.6L TF is 220mm, so these would be no good. The manual covers africa and the like where they got the 1.6L 4ZA1 motor, mainly thats why its in the book id say. It gives a bit more info on the diff. This covers both sizes.
Axle tube diameter, outside, 75mm.
Thickness 4.5mm.
What none of the books give me is the number of splines and diameter of the axles which is the info thats needed.
If your going to hunt for an LSD centre id look in the rear of a 4x4 or a diesel 2x4 KB Rodeo. A Jackaroo would be the best bet and id have to say looking in a diesel one would up your chances more.
I wanted to keep this under my hat till i was sure.
Ive got a Jackaroo LSD centre lined up for my KB20. When i got it here i was going to rip the single wheeler out of my auto piazza and have a look.
Cheers. Bob.
P.S. dont tell the Gemini guys about this or they will want piazza diffs to make fit and pinch all the LSD centres.
