Hello,

I am installing a Quaife Limited slip differential and need the torque values on the ring gear and transmission case.

Thanks much.

If you know the values please post them. I already have clutch to flywheel numbers.

I'd post them if I was at home as I am sure they are in the TIS. I would REALLY appreciate you sharing your install experience....will you have to set lash? will you have to set the contact patch? I'd love to get one but what with the price AND having the delership install it, AAAARGH.......my wallet....my marriage...... :smile:

Still looking. Anyone else know them??

Eric tried his best to find torque values but they don't exist anywhere we looked so you just have to hand tighten and do it evenly.

Looking forward to getting my MCS back soon. We have an event this weekend.
Just in time!

If you go to TIS and go to Torque values, the very first section is the general one, that takes you to a page that gives you torque v grade, size of bolt and thread pitch.....that should be the correct value. If you do not have TIS and can give me the size, grade, COLOR and pitch of the bolt, I'm guessing I can help.
