F serires Diff - Corona Mk II

[cyprus73]

Hi All.

I have been advised that the diff centre out of an MA61 supra will fit into my Corona
MK II F series diff.

I just want to confirm this is the case before I purchase on.
Spoke to some wreckers and they advised it will not fit as th MA61 is IRS.

Is it a striaght swap or not?

yep - it fits. thats what im running in my MX13 diff housing at the moment


just need to double check your mkII actually has a F series diff. read the toyota compliance plate and look beside "trans/axle" it should say something like;

the diff code is referring to the latter part.... the first part refers to the gearbox

"W40 F302"
or
"W40 E302"


let us know which it is


edit;
if it is this
"W40 F302"

then your good to go

but.... if its this one....then bad luck

"W40 E302"

since when do wreckers know anything about toyotas?


the T, G and F series IRS centres will fit the T, G and F series live axle banjos

Yup, you don't become a wrecker because you're a rocket surgeon.

From memory a few people here have put F series IRS centres in live axle housings, so it can definitely be done.

Hi all.

Its the F, I pulled it out of an MX13 as I have the MX22.

Good, so its a straight swap, now I have to find one?

Cheers.

have fun finding one in good nick. brand new torsens are pretty cheap....about 600ish. someone in NSW distributes them apparently

Yeah i'm ruinning a RA65 diff ratio (which came from IRS) with a True trak F series centre all in a Crown live axle.

Pube found the true traks in granville for around $700 i think which is what i paid for mine in the first group buy.
