i have a rebuilt H22a with a quaife installed in the tranny along with a light flywheel (indigospeed). took it out for the first time and no problems while driving but noticed after driving around for a while, tuning the engine, that at low speeds would start to hear and feel just a bit of a rubbing/chattering as the engine slowed way down (even out of gear) coming off throttle.

today took out again. drives fine at speed through all gears but going slow the symptoms are even worse almost like a bit of binding. as the car/tranny cooled down it seemed to not be there.

checked tranny oil and its ok. nothing seems loose. only 30miles on the engine so far,

any ideas? is this something the quaife can do?

 

Are you using transfluid that is designed for trannys equipped with lsd? Maybe the person who installed your lsd didn't put in the correct differential shim.

 

shimmed it myself using the torque wrench preload technique in the helms. was dead on correct. new bearings.

seems the problem may not be the quaife afterall. may be one of the axles I had made by CVUnlimited. It seems to be accentuated by driving a bit uphill and turning to the right.

using Honda MTF. Quaife says that is perfectly ok. they also say a tiny bit of chatter is normal at very low speeds since the gears on either side are going to be towards the center of the unit (at high speeds they are pushed outward)
