LSD transaxle and Mil/GTV6 halfshats



    The only way to tell which axle ratio and/or if there is a LSD is to
pull the side cover on the transaxle case that secures the diff. Stamped
on the ring gear will be a number like 10/41. This identified as 4.10
axle ratio. The LSD can be identified by the six or eight bolts holding
the end plate to the diff  unit ( to get at the clutch discs).

    There is a difference in axle shaft between a GTV6 and a Milano. if
you look at the "spacer" between the brake disc and the axle shaft, they
are different for each car. The GTV6 used regular bolts and the Milano
uses allen bolts. The Milano spacers are shorter, hence a longer axle
shaft. I was told this was done to give the Milano when weighted down
more suspension travel. To use a Milano transaxle use change the spacers
to the GTV6 style and you are in business. What all of these questions
on putting a Plat.

LSD into a GTV6 are you having the LSD unit rebuilt or leaving it stock.
Most LSD unit I have seen are worn out because the lock is so low that
the friction discs slip to much quickly wearing them away. Ereminas
Imports will rebuilt your LSD with 50% lock for about $200 depending if
everything else is ok. After two years of competition use my LSd is
still working like new. Good Luck.
