    Default changing crown wheel question?

    i currently still have the 4.3 clutch pack lsd in my A70 supra.
    i bought a 4.11 torsen which will suit my car a little more, but i want to retain the clutch pack. Does anyone know whats involved in changing the crown wheels over so i then have a 4.11 clucth pack & 4.3 torsen as a spare!

    When reassembling a diff, gear contact patches, heel, toe etc is best left to a workshop that specialises in diffs. They will have all the shims and measureing equipment to do the job properly. Get it wrong and you are up for a new set of gears real soon. Also crown wheel and pinions are matched sets.

    Swap it the other way around.
    ie swap the centres over, not the crown (as chuck said, the crown and pinion are a matched pair).
