Quaife Question
Hi
Do any of you have a Quaife reversing box in your car?
If so - how can I tell if I have it in the right way or not?
Thanks for your help,
Mark

There was a discussion on this in the past few months and according to Quaife it doesn't matter which way it is installed.

Well, upside down might not be good....

Quaife reverse box
I have one of these fitted to my car. Very good but not the best solution for the road. Also the vent plug should be changed for a vent tube leasing
to a catch tank. The internals pump the oil out of the breather! Not a good thing!

I'm thinking of having one of these fellas - so I'm interested in your opinion.
Why isn't it so good on the road????

Im not sure if the Quaife is similar or not, but several friends who had two different incarnations of ones Westfield have supplied over the years
both had a lot more drivetrain shunt and noise, so they all converted to conventional prop with no reverse, or in one case electric reverse.

Usually the shift lever is at the rear of the box.
I think the input and output bearings are different sizes, can't remember the details now but when I bought mine Quaife mentioned something
along these lines. Can't remember which was bigger though
