RT142 + T series??

[Gilly]

basically curious to know whether a t series diff will fit a corona (mounting points), i', pretty sure i have read before that some models were equipped with a T series.

i did i search and in the diff info excel sheet that was put together it stated that the disc setup would fit "T" series diffs. pardon my ignorance but does this mean the RT142 could physically take a T series from an RA40 or similar. I (obviously) rarely venture out of the realm of 70's and 86's so i'm feeling awful noobish

i like to say T series a lot

T series

Locally-delivered RT142's are either live-axle Borg Warner, or IRS F-series. I've never seen one with a T series, but that's not to say you couldn't adapt one if you were really keen. Get your tape measure out!

[thechuckster]

supposedly the borgwarmer diff from an RT142 bolts straight into an RA40 (mounts and all in the right spots or so the rumour suggests) - so it's likely that the T-series RA40 diff bolts into the RT142.

If the target RT142 had rear disks, you'd have to put those disks (and associated hardware) onto the RA40 diff. Going from disks back to RA40 drum rears would be a bad thing mmokay?

i love you chuckster.

many thanks

[thechuckster]

just hang onto that love until you've measure both diffs

[skiddz]

is the T stronger than the bog warmer? i wouldnt have thought so

are you only doing this cos you have a t series diff? unless its an ra40 diff the you car going to have to re bracket it, which then asks why not hilux diff?

[thechuckster]

the T would be the stronger of 2 weak diffs...

Hey Gilly,

This might help give you an idea of the comparison between an F series and T series diff.

The diff's in All the RA40, RA60, RT141 & RT142, Use the same Hanger's...
So all are interchangeable, that is swop the over ...

[Mr Multivalve]

I thought the RT141 was a solid axel not IRS ?

[Norbie]

ST141 is solid axle, RT142 is either solid axle or IRS. This is for local models only, imports are a different story.

[Mr Multivalve]

Ahh ok I thought all rt142's were IRS but obviously not.

[Gilly]

top work gents i now know a RA40 diff will go into a rt141

it was for a guy was piecing a diff together for. it fell through BUT i know now, and a corona is now a very driftable future build for me now

[SIKTOY]

This is a question I was going to ask but in reverse I want to put a F series out of an import rt142 into my RA40
Thanks for the info guys

Cheers
Ben

F series diffs in the RT 142 are IRS as where the RA40 have a solid axle so if your a good fabricator/welder then the task is at hand if not stick to the solid axle or buy a RT 142 Rona.
