adnanshah247 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 as far as i was told the aristo, supra and soarer diffs work on each other but you need to change the outer caseing.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Sounds like you've got a TT Supra diff - it might be possible to swap the pinion and ring gears from your old diff (see: http://www.v8soarer.com/diffs/index.shtml) but I've no idea about that apart from what I've read there! The easier option is to get a diff from an NA Supra. The early ones (pre-facelift?) fit straight in (casing, driveshafts and all). The later ones have different flanges on the driveshafts, but I think you might be able to just swap in your original shafts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Do you have the big torsen diff or the small torsen diff, can you post a pic??? Although the big one is larger it still bolts up on the same mounts. In what way does it not fit dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest conman Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 the ring gear from my old diff is too small for the torsen and the torsen unit it self is to large for the housing and the drives dont fit the dif either i think i will need a bigger housing and drive ends but if i get a bigger housing then i will need shorter drive shafts and then the prop shaft prob wont fit either does any one know of a fecked Diff lying around northern ireland or would any one here want a torsen diff? i'll go and get a few pics of it now so ya can see what i have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tails Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 i bought a torsen diff recently aswell it was of a tt so when i went to bolt it to the donut on the prop shaft i found the tt flange was bigger but luckily managed to unbolt the flange of my old n/a diff and bolt it onto the torsen diff and job done:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Sounds like you've bought the larger diff casing from an early model 6spd TT, if you're fitting your existing ring gear then you need the smaller casing.

Guest conman Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 would it be hard to find the larger casing, ring gear and drives? and what kind of money d ya think(ball park figure) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
