I asked this on the other thread and got no answers...

Front diff is in the transaxle with the tranny?
and Transfer case is the center diff??

The transaxle contains the transmission and center diff. The transfer case contains the viscous coupler and the front diff.

What the? The viscous coupler is the slip limiting device of the center differential. Why would it be in the transfer case? Not trying to be a dik but that explanation is blowing my mind.

Maybe my LRV is different but the transaxle is a transmission, center differential, and front differential all in one. The transfer case doesn't do anything but make a transverse output shaft and turn it 90 degrees so it can drive the rear wheels.

Ok, what is the center differential since the front differential is in the transfer case. Is it what connects the tranny to the front drive shaft?

The front drive shafts are connected to the front differential. There are holes through the center diff and viscous coupler for those shafts to go through.

The center diff itself also has two outputs on the right side, which are concentric to one another. The outer one spins the viscous coupler case, which has a ring gear on it to spin the pinion that turns the propshaft that sends power to the rear of the car.

The inner shaft spins the front diff which is connected to the inner portion of the viscous coupler.

Inside both of these two shafts is where the left driveshaft goes through. If you've read any of the clutch install threads, that's the shaft that needs to be pulled out with a slide hammer.

Guys! Don't use redline in your transfer cases. Mitsu recommended what it did for a reason.

GM Synchromesh is what some of the reputable tuners call for..
See this thread for more on the Redline VS GM Syncro topic..

Diff Fluid

Whew,

I thought I would be talking about the diff internals for awhile there. Thanks for the helpful info Iodine!!

What does Mitsu recommend? I'm probably going to change mine next time I change the oil. I've heard of Redline eating synchro's but haven't read into it enough. What are you guys using for diff/transfer/transaxle?

Bah.. finally got my OEM SAE90 and BG syncroshift... I've bought 2 pumps now and both were total pieces of ****.

Anyone seen a decent electric pump out there?
