G series diff centre pictures anyone?

[barned01]

Hello
I was just wondering if anyone has any pictures of the various centres for G series diffs.
I thought it might be an idea take a picture of what each centre looks like to enable people to go to a wrecker and say yay or nay to a diff offered to them or compare with what they already have at home.

Specifically what the following centres look like
2 pinion open
2 pinion clutch lsd
4 pinion open
4 pinion clutch lsd
locker
torsion (i have seen a few pics for these on other sites so i can probably shamelessly steal some but i am sure one of you guys have them).

cheers

They all look the same mate, cept for the obvious bits.

a 2 pinion has 2 pinion gears in the center, where as the 4 has four (that's reasonably easy to spot)

and

open centers dont' have a clutch "basket" where as the LSD ones do, and look like they're almost fully enclosed. It's a damn site harder to see the pinion gears in a LSD.

i have a G series Diff, but its neither one of these.. the diff center is enclosed, we hardly can see what is inside.. is that fitted with LSD?

That will probably be a clutched LSD.

Pretty sure this is the 4pinion clutch lsd.

yeah indeed it looks like the photo above..
this is the G series i have



but there is one doubt bout it. it behave exactly like an open diff does. ie spinning one side of wheel the opposite wheel will spin the other way round. so who is who now?

Needs to be rebuilt with clutches.

err.. look in the hole.. or better yet, take a pic in the open hole and see if you can see plates..
you can see the shafts for the pinions, but i am not sure it is LSD...

ie, the sides of the housing usually look more flat.. like this

the curious really pilling up now.. :-)

[oldcorollas]
