New SCE AWD Center Differential! - Page 6 - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

Will the output shaft of the unit be different from the stock ones? Or in other words: If I get the SCE center diff can I throw away my aftermarket output shaft or do I keep it as a spare?

Yep, according to Phil, the output shaft had to be designed to work with the center diff (different dimensions than stock). As such, the kit includes it and you won't be able to use a stock sized OS (so sell it to someone who isn't buying an SCE center diff).

So if I'm having my transaxle rebuilt, it would probably be cheaper & easier for me to convert now it to a 25 spline and then sell my 18 spline 300m shaft & working VCU, so that I can install your center differential at a later time?

That would be the ideal way to do it since the new 18-spline center diffs will be more expensive and less common.

I am in for this!!!
Cash in hand, waiting for the group buy.

for sure a stupid question but I have to:
does the VCU replacement, along with the F+R differentials and output shaft, etc... will improve also the TC functioning? I ask cause i've read many statements of 3s owners which have experienced a tc failure (locked up) while speeding. I know it's a noob question, but please explain for me a little.
thanks.

No. The TC is a gearbox that just turns the power going to the rear wheels 90 degrees. The three differentials that SCE has come out with will have no effect. The most common cause of TC failure is being low or out of oil. The new differentials can't help that condition.

thanks for clearing that for me.

I would think the new center diff would actually make TC problems worse seeing how on a launch, the center diff may send up to 90% of the power to the rear wheels through the TC.

Of course this would only intensify the high HP problems with the TC, not the recall issue.

Thats a good argument, can anyone step into clarify?
