I'm considering buying a Richmond spool for my Cable Tranny B16. Just wondering if anybody has them installed. I do drive this car on the street, and I am aware of the down side of having a spool on the street. Thanks for any and all help...

If you are going to drive it on the street i would get a quaife LSD. But if a drag car go with a pro drive spool

 

Should be pretty easy to install if you've ever had a trans apart before. Rich mond has a history of making good parts, you shouldn't have a problem. I had a spool in my street car for the last two years and I was OK with it at first, but after a while, all the driving problems and axle problems it introduces were enough for me. I pulled the trans last week to fix a reverse problem and ordered a quaife to put back in it.

 

i have installed them and they fit and work fine but, everyone i've seen are made wrong. the splines on the half shaft side need to be back cut the axle doesnt go all the way in.

 

I use a pro drive spool but, they have problems, they fit fine and work fine but there skimpy on the splines they have striped out before

 

So basically it is more then a hassel then helpful..Like when I did my swap I took out the AC, when summer comes and I take a girl out shes like damn it's hot....and of course they don't like the windows down...Anyways...That's a little of topic...I just see how much cheaper they are then other LSD's...But of course the cheapest way out isn't always the best...Thanks for your help!!

That's exactly what I found out, which is why after two years of fighting the spool on the street, I bought a quaife. If you want one, get in touch with Tom at http://www.camp1320.com/ and tell him I sent you.

 

Thanks...That was the advice I was looking for...
