1. [FOT] Differential fluid (score: 1): Author: joe dirt <oldskooling@yahoo.com>; Date: Fri, 21 Apr 2006 12:45:16 -0700 (PDT); Hi folks, We're encountering problems with a car that is seeing the diff. fluid reaching 325 degrees. Just to do a quick survey, what are you faster folks using for diff. fluid? Current fluid is Redl; /html/fot/2006-04/msg00295.html (6,509 bytes)

It's for a Spec Miata that's part of our "race team". Here is the link to the discussion on SM.com... http://forum.specmiata.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.; /html/fot/2006-04/msg00296.html (7,174 bytes)

Don't they use a Quaiffe-like diff? If so, it should not be running all that hot, especially compared with a true clutch diff like the Salisb; /html/fot/2006-04/msg00297.html (7,451 bytes)

RE: [FOT] Differential fluid (score: 1): Author: "Mike Munson" <fasttrs@mindspring.com>; Date: Sat, 22 Apr 2006 10:05:50 -0400; Most of the guys that run the early 1.6 cars in Spec Miata here in the southeast region have problems with the diffs. Since you can't run a diff cooler I would think you need to run the best fluid p; /html/fot/2006-04/msg00298.html (8,758 bytes)

If you set the diff up to hardly slip at all, in other words make the springs very stiff, then it won't overheat and it will; /html/fot/2006-04/msg00301.html (8,674 bytes)

They do have a finned covers.. but as far as modifications are concerned, that is all they can do. It's not so much a problem with the LSD unit, it's th; /html/fot/2006-04/msg00302.html (9,811 bytes)

You couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting a Spec Miata. I was talking to a guy about them. He's running a 1600, so has the earlier and weaker; /html/fot/2006-04/msg00305.html (8,141 bytes)

I got the impression that it was "kinda somehow semi-legal", so your explanation makes some sense out of that. The people I was talking to were associ; /html/fot/2006-04/msg00314.html (10,878 bytes)

RE: [FOT] Differential fluid (score: 1): Author: Bill Babcock <BillB@bnj.com>; Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2006 07:54:49 -0700; It has an inlet and an outlet and there's a short run of pipe so there's not much friction. There's lots of pumping going on inside any differential at speed. I'd guess that the connector located nea; /html/fot/2006-04/msg00322.html (9,045 bytes)
