I've revived the rebuilding/restoration of my A2 Golf and I just purchased a Peloquin Torque Sensing Differential for the O2O transmission from WRD Racing. They had a nice price on the diff and the bolt kit. See http://www.wrdusa.com WRD already had a good price listed for the LSD but there was an additional discount because of an organized VORTEX group buy.
Now my dilema. My Golf was originally a 1.8l 8V with an ACN 5sp transmission. This tranny has the gear ratios I prefer for freeway driving. However, This trans isn't known for its strength and its equipped with the smaller 90mm flanges. So I don't think this would be a good candidate for a rebuild and LSD installation. I know I could change the flanges to 100mm but I think I remember the trannies from the early MKIIs had several weaknesses. The guys at WRD Racing suggested I look into MKIII 2.0l gearboxes because they would have the 100mm flanges and the taller gearing. Any input from your experiences would be appreciated? Any suggestions? -Les
