how to: mod 1 piece torsen diff. with pictures.

**k0mpresd** · 04-26-2008 11:59 PM

me and my friend modded his b6's 1 piece center diff earlier this afternoon.

please note that the torsen in the 01e tranny is removed easier than the torsen on the 01a tranny. you only need to remove the back cover of the gearbox. all other steps are the same though. 01e diff is larger though too.

i figured i would let the pictures do the talking. post any questions.

you must knock the torsen out of the housing. hit the shiny part.

thanks for the post, doesnt look that difficult at all. i might have to do the washer mod on my 01e while everything it out.

no problem. when i modded my diff i didnt have a camera with me. so i was excited yesterday to be able to help my friend and get some pics @ the time to be able to put out there for everyone.

it is scary easy.

I am in for a set..I have one question is there any warranty..I know Greg exploded his stasis diff and they gave him a new one....SO I am only worried in this case

so its just the washers that change the "preload" or whatever its called in a torsen, and the new spiral pins are just because you have to mangle the old ones to get them out? IIRC at least.

There is not pre-load in the T-1 Torsen. All this does is create more internal friction w/in the differential, which, in turn, is what dictates the TBR of this differential. Do a search for "Torsen Whitepaper" and you'll have some good reading material.

Will this work on a tip?

**Trigger Happy** · 09-12-2009 01:55 PM

so how long does it take to switch diffs? I was thinking about getting a spare and using that for the winter when it snows and mod the one in my car for summer
