Quaife

[bbeacock@rogers.com (Ben Beacock)]

That wouldn't work unless you lightly apply the brakes.  The Quaife
"biases" the torque at a ratio of about 5 to 1.  So if there is no
torque on the lifted wheel, there is no torque to bias to the wheel on
the ground.  If you apply the brakes, there is a torque applied to the
wheel in there air, so the one on the ground will receive 4 times that
in motion (brakes on the other side are on too)

I guess you could jack it up on one side in the front.  Turn on your car
and
put it into gear and give it some gas.  If the wheel in the air spins
but
the other one on the ground is happy then you don't got a quaife.
However,
if you do have a quaife you may not be on that jack much longer :o)  At
least I think this would be a way to test it, though I don't speak from
experiance.

How can I tell if my transmission has a quaife installed.  Quite some
time
ago there was a thread about a "quick" check.  If someone remembers
please
drop me a note so I can check my transmission.
Thank you
Jim
