Hello and welcome. I am afraid that I cannot answer your question 100% on adding more friction discs to the diff. What people usually do is to rebuild the diffs and if more bite is required then a spring block can be added so you have more clamping force due to the springs. There is also a member that modified the ASD system so it locks upon request by the use of a hydraulic cylinder conncted to the existing ASD pipes. |

Hi, BlackCerb- Read the post and ''link'' by Matsalleh76. http://190rev.net/forums/showthread.php?p=435956 I do not think you can increase the ''lock up'' on a ASD diff the way your thinking. You need a LSD from a early 2,3 16v to do what your thinking. Regards, The Gorilla. |
