Tiptronic version of Quaife ATB Differential Interest Only:
As I've been asked for this Item, Do YOU want this???
If we get enough interest I’ll get a car stripped and the diff measured to see if the jobs feasible. Please add you name to the list if you have a Tip and are interested in adding a Quaife diff.
Post from LSD Anyone Thread posted 02/02/2008 OK guys, Maybe your prayers have been answered, I've had an email, and then a 45 min conversation with a very nice American Gentleman living in England. (Actually I would suggest he's been here some time and now, and might be as much, if not more English than American)..........
but Ed has offered the use of his Cayman S Tiptronic, so........I will contact the powers that be to find out when they can remove the diff and measure what they need to measure, alternatively if someone local to Ed can remove it and then get it down to Quaife for said measuring etc:
Now I don't want to inconvenience Ed for No reason,
So the Question is:- WHO WANTS A CAYMAN S TIPTRONIC QUAIFE AUTO TORQUE BIASING DIFFERENTIAL ?????
Stand up and be counted NOW...........
LSD - Limited Slip Differential
A limited slip differential (LSD) is a modified or derived type of differential gear arrangement that allows for some difference in rotational velocity of the output shafts, but does not allow the difference in speed to increase beyond a preset amount. In an automobile, such limited slip differentials are sometimes used in place of a standard differential, where they convey certain dynamic advantages, at the expense of greater complexity.
The main advantage of a limited slip differential is found by considering the case of a standard (or "open") differential where one wheel has no contact with the ground at all. In such a case, the contacting wheel will remain stationary, and the non-contacting wheel will rotate freely– the torque transmitted will be equal at both wheels, but will not exceed the threshold of torque needed to move the vehicle, thus the vehicle will remain stationary. In everyday use on typical roads, such a situation is very unlikely, and so a normal differential suffices. For more demanding use however, such as driving off-road, or for high performance vehicles, such a state of affairs is undesirable, and the LSD can be employed to deal with it. By limiting the velocity difference between a pair of driven wheels, useful torque can be transmitted as long as there is some friction available on at least one of the wheels.

TBD - Torque Biasing Differential
With an ordinary open differential, a lot of precious power is wasted during wheel spin under acceleration. This happens because the open differential shifts power to the wheel with less grip, along the path of least resistance. The torque capacity of the TBD/ATB unit is increased or decreased by varying the helix and pressure angles of the gear teeth. The operation is automatic and the unit is a direct replacement with the stock differential. There are no clutch plates as in more conventional limited-slip designs.
The Torque Biasing Differential or A.T.B., however, does just the opposite. It senses which wheel has better grip, and biases the power to that wheel. It does this smoothly and constantly, and without ever completely removing power from the other wheel. In drag-race style, straight-line acceleration runs, this results in a close to ideal 50/50 power split to both drive wheels, resulting in essentially twice the grip of an ordinary differential.

Joe I would estimate it will follow Quaife's prices at the moment so a guess would be about £750-£780 or $1500-$1560ish obviously I don't know this for fact, but the 6 speed is £675 $1350ish and we've managed to keep these prices down....so don't think it will be within your "budget"....!!

Okay I think i answered my own question... assuming your cayman uses the same 987.300.011.20 tranny then it work for the 986S... both are the ZF 1060030 (5HP19FL)
Until
