does anyone know if a quaife is something that can be installed by me?? or will it require to be sent to a tranny shop for installation?? do they come pre shimmed for the transmission??

 

Its not hard to install. Get a helms for the transmition. Get new carrier bearings from the dealer. Have them pressed onto the diff. Also get hem to swap your speedo gear over to your LSD. Measure the outside from the ends of each bearing with a caliper and try to get your new bearings to match that number. If you can get them to match then you won't have to reshim the diff. Kinda hard to explain. Bone probably has a pic of what I am trying to explain.

 

It is not hard, but without knowing what you are comfortable doing it's impossible to say if you should take it on.

You will NEED the helms manual in order to split the case and get it back together! You will need a "flat blade" snap ring plier that you can get from Sears. You will need a tube of Hondabond.

And of course, you will need a clean place to work.

You may be able to reuse the carrier bearings. The comment in the prior post should read that you have to check the side to side play and if not correct, you use a different thickness shim.

While the transmission is apart, check the input shaft bearing!!!! If it's in question at all, replace it and the seal. From what I've heard, they tend to go out real fast (the used YS1 that I picked up had a bearing that was real close to being total trash).

Ring gear bolts are "reverse" thread.

I second this. My YS1 was the same way, and the bearing/seal combo can be had for around $30 online.
