Diff Identfication(Visual)

[WindeX]

Hey all,

I was wondering if there are easy ways of identifying Toyota diffs from the outside, I am not sure what diff my celica has, its a TA23, but it has had an engine conversion and I am not sure if the stock T series diff was retained. When I had it up on the ramps it looked as though the welds may have been an aftermarket jobbie, but I have never seen the stock ones, so I am not sure. I will attempt to get some pics up, but any ideas would be useful.

Cheers

the only upgrades i wopuld think of are:

F series corona diff - would have drums
Bogwarmer from a commodore - have discs
G series (if ur lucky!!) - would have drums.

ahh it all makes sense now.....

all disk brake live axle diffs are originally from commodores and all drum brake diffs are either F or G??..... awesome info


pull an axle out and count the teeth on the spline.....not a difficult task.

is the diff front or rear loading.

ie commodore spec or ford 9" (and toyota) spec ???

T series are 23 spline
Fseries are 27spline
G series are 31 spline

g series are actually 30 spline.

I had a look around the web and couldent find any really good exploded views of diffs, I was am assuming that the splines are the teeth on the end of the axel? Am I correct in this?

[takai]

Yes you would be correct in this assumption.

Grouse, thanks for confirming that dude.
