Hi All
has any one built a chasis for a Sierra diff and then thought " sod it " and put a freelander LSD in instead???
Just a thought
The Freelander was never offered with a LSD. If you want one, it is a Quaife special...
nice dax Julian B
Hi Guys
i thought it was the freelander diff that cateringham were using on their cars..... is that not atb/lsd
cheers
Yes, it's a Freelander diff but with Quaife ATB internals. It shouldn't be too difficult to make up the brackets to fit a freelander diff in
place of a Sierra one. You'll also have to get some hybrid shafts made up though.

I thought the freelander diff was about half the weight , plus my sierra lsd is becoming noisey
I think i need to look into this a little further as the sierra diff isn't long enough when working with the rover LT77/V8 combi.
You can however pull from 20 to 110mph in one gear easily before the redline
not that i ever go that fast !

Hi
From memory i think its ratio is 3.38 . It was from an XR 4x4 estate
i gues 3.9 or more would make for a lazier drive but im out of my depth here
4x4 sierra's are normaly 3.62 (V6 & cossie) or 3.92 (2.0l)
I thought the 3.38 (7" ) / 3.36 (7.5" ) came from the diesels (not the 1.8D)
as for ratios: the higher the number - the lower the gear
have you had a play with one of the gear calc programs yet: http://locost7.info/gearcalc.php
