series 2 or series 3??

[LETZRIDE]

How can I tell if a torsen posi unit is a series 2 or 3? The one I bought when I broke my rear end, happened to be a little bit bigger then my previous unit...the guy said it was a series 3, but I am not so sure...I never ended up using it because it was supposed to be an Eaton and it wasnt....so I want to sell the unit, but I want to be able to tell people 100% what they are buying...is there anyways I can verify 100% if this is a series 2 or series 3 carrier?

Re: series 2 or series 3??

the pics in my sale thread for a zexel is a for sure 3 series(pulled it out a rear end with series 3 4.10's) I guess we can compare pictures?

Re: series 2 or series 3??

I looked at those pics, and mine looks the same...but I am not sure if the series 2 and 3 look the same...I was hoping a measurement or something could confirm it 100%, or maybe a serial code or something...

To boot, it looks like the broken torsen I pulled out...only difference is this on is slightly bigger...

well when I took the pics there was a series of numbers on the housing, I'ma see if i can check for a website or someone to call and confirm.

theres the pic, its blurry and you cant really notice it but there is indeed some sort of serial number to identify it.

It was on the side of the housing lol. I sold it to bonemaro already though, maybe he can take it a picture for you?

Mine was right on the outside of the housing, very easy to find.

I was looking there but didnt see it...how big is the writing, maybe I just need to clean it up a bit...

Re: series 2 or series 3??

I found the writing...it is a series 2 torsen...does anyone know how many axle Splines this is meant for?

Re: series 2 or series 3??

I think it is the same spline count 28. Just the carrier is different for higher gears.
