Well I'm pretty sure that anyone who has replaced a standard diff with a Torsen did not bother to add or change anything besides the diff gearset. Whenever I changed one I retained the original ring gear so I wouldn't have to even re-adjust the pinion ... let alone remove and reinstall it. ----- Original Message ----- From: Luis To: 'Bryan Wyatt' ; 'Miata Power List' Sent: Friday, February 05, 2010 6:13 PM Subject: RE: How do I know it's a Torsen?
Bryan, According to the differential spotters guide you are correct. At least I hope so, I just bought a TORSEN I didn’t need because the price was too good to pass up…. Well, I assumed it was TORSEN because it had the damper. I’ll have to verify it later.

Dumb question, but don't all Torsens have the rubber damper where the driveshaft and the input to the diff meet? -Bryan --- On Mon, 2/1/10, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: RE: How do I know it's a Torsen?

The guy said it was no problem and in fact they like these kinds of calls. Presumably, gain brand loyalty in the market? I'm still looking for a Red 84-07 with zero rust. Torsen optional, based on the price. I can get a Torsen for 800 or so. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: How do I know it's a Torsen?

If the car came with cloth seats it probably didn't have a torsen. If it did come with leather seats it probably came with torsen ... and the most underbody bracing of any year Miata. The seats may have been replaced so look for the bracing (half a dozen round steel bars with flatened ends) under the rear of the body. AFAIK the '94B (tan top & interior) did not have the bracing. ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: Bill Cardell ; MataPowerList Sent: Wednesday, December 16, 2009 3:45 PM Subject: How do I know it's a Torsen? Hi All, hoping to get some quick advice I'm looking at a 94 Miata and no idea if it's a Torsen or not car has a/c but manual windows, no cruise, if that helps...
