[Tigers] axle spline

[Jim B]

The Tiger rear axles are 19 spline which are out dated. There are diffs. that will accept this like the Auburn clutch type LSD but, last I checked they had some QC problems with fit. Changing to 28-30 spline axles and pinion will give you a better choice for an LSD. Or, just change the R&P back to 2.88 if the LSD is not a real concern. (I have a set) I will say that the Torsen type LSD in my Tiger really hooks up great. Better than I expected actually. However, the cost is something to consider. I probably put close to a grand in the rear end with new gears, pinion, axles, bearings etc, shop time and the LSD diff. Best of luck.

Thats another story..The other spline to note is the pinion if you change the ring and pinion. The early Dana 44 pinions have a course spline, all new replacement gears have a finer spline, more surface area and are stronger, it will require a companion flange to connect the drive shaft.  These are readily available
