Anyone run a Peloquin or Quaife limited slip? My trans is out right now and I'm considering buying one. Anyone now the pros and cons to each?
-
I had a hypo gasser Caddy once with a quaiffe and it rocked.
-
pros and cons of limited slip? they suck in the rain if you are throwing power to them. basically its instant posi-traction, just add power. josh (Powered by Spearco) just bought a nice LSD for his drag car. might ask him about it and where he got it and paid for it.
-
Quaife and Peloquin are essentially the same type of differential, the driving experience with both will be identical. Peloquin's are generally a bit cheaper and most of what I have read says they are also more durable. But Quaife was the first one in the game with FWD VW's.

Thanks, that's what i needed to hear. I'll be getting a price from a local VW performance shop to do a rebuild with a Peloquin.

There's a guy in Auburn that builds VW transmissions he's been doing it for many years now and he is very reasonable. pm me if you want his number. I wouldn't be surprised if you he could hook you up with a good used LSD.

www.brokevw.com is also a well noted tranny rebuilder.

I notice on his site he says he's booked into 2010.
I got a price of around 1300-1400 for a complete rebuild with a peloquin for my AVX trans. Think i might go ahead and do it.
-
ouch. theres guys rebuilding transmissions for 500 bucks in oregon. theres a few good shops in portland that rebuild transmissions cheap. but you are somewhere else. and that seems like an aweful lot just for a rebuild and LSD install.

The peloquin is costing me 875 alone, and around an other 400-500 for the rebuild. The diff is what's costing so much.
-
ok, that makes more sense. but uh, if i ever do something, im just gonna do an 80% mini slip in my transmission. i think its less than a hundred bucks for one if you can find it?

I think Brian is to the trans what Giles is to the IP - a master craftsman. He has been quick in the business I have had with him. I'd get on his list if you want a quality job.

I'm going with wavetrac - You can fin them for under $700 all day long and the company support is fantastic, from what I've seen.

I actually got another guy to do it, I'm saving a little money, bought a peloquin today which is on sale with APtuning and a seal kit with GAP. I'm dropping the trans off to the guy tomorrow, he'll be pulling it apart to check for anything else i need. He said labor will be about 200 for tear down and assembly. Which will put me in the 1100-1200 range.

Where are you finding the Wavetracks for under $700?
-
Little update. Trans got put back together with a peloquin and 3.94 final drive.
Here was the damage.
Peloquin: On sale at APTuning, including ARP hardware and bearing: $815 shipped
Labor for rebuild: $200
3.94 Final Drive: $150
Gasket/Seal Kit: $60
Pinion Bearings and Misc: $50
Total: $1275
I should be able to sell my 4.25 R&P for hopefully around $300, so that will put me at $975, not bad at all for a rebuilt trans with a LSD.
Hopefully i'll have it back in the car and up and running tomorrow if all goes well.
