Its a straight drop in, you can keep the drive shafts and blades, you will need to dremel a bit though.

So it's dremel rather than a light sanding??

Speaking with one of the AE drivers in Aus, he was saying you need to open the out drives a bit more. So drilling a larger penning in the cup. A light sand wouldn't do much. Ill test this out over the weekend when i build my kit up. :D

BD5(mfg. by yok) diff fits, You need to grind the ball of the bone or drill out the cups. the blades fit with just a little sanding. Keven and I ran 80 wt ae oil at the champs.

Are you going to be at MSI on Sunday? Would like to take a look at the gear diff setup. Do you know if AE is working on their own version?

The driveshafts are the same as the tc5 i did not have to modify anything with the spec-r bd5 diff in my tc5.I am getting my tc6 thursday i will let you know that night.

Any extra spacers needed?

Yes a drop in fit. It is snug but to problems

Anyone else notice that the assembly of the TC6 slipper spool now includes the 5/64" thrust balls on the short side of the diff outdrive? These weren't part of the TC5 assembly. What overall difference would this make?

jeff jenkins 12-01-2010 01:04 PM

the thrust balls should prevent the slipper spool from coming loose like the old one did.

+1

this was never a problem (without the thurst ball assembly) while running 17.5 stock and boosted, but as soon as I switched to 13.5 the slipper was coming undone all the time... when I asked around all the TC5 guys at the track run with the thrust assembly...

Rick Hohwart confirmed that it's a typo. -1.5° is the value that was meant to be there!

There seem to be a lot of typos with the identification of hardware and stock numbers, too!

I was going thru the manual part numbers and they refer to all SOFT plastics! Please tell me that is wrong!

Yes it is wrong. All parts are hard plastic.

Alright great! what a relief..... Maybe that manual should be taken down from the site until it is corrected? Are you guys planning on correcting the book and/or PDF?
