To complete the package, every Wavetrac® differential is built using high quality, high strength fasteners exclusively from ARP®, the world leader in fastener technology. The diff bodies are machined from case hardened steel billet. The internal gears are made from high strength 9310 alloy steel. Attention was also paid to the side gear/axle interface, putting as much material thickness as possible in this critical area - most important when power levels get high.Įach Wavetrac® Differential is crafted from the highest quality materials available. Our gear package is smaller, reducing overall mass, yet is more durable. Internally, its gear tooth forms are optimized for strength and improved oil film retention over competitive designs. Superior Design, Materials, and Constructionĭesigned from a clean sheet, the new Wavetrac® Differential brings current gear technology to the market. The unbalance of the resistive torque will manifest as non-uniform energy absorption within the differential causing a bias ratio. The resistive force, however, is non-uniform since it is a function of the axial load from the differential pinions. The resistive torque will add to the resistance of relative rotation of all components within the differential. This axial force is then considered a normal force into the friction plate, and as a function of the effective coefficient of friction, will provide a resistive torque to the rotational motion of the differential pinions. The applied torque load manifests itself as an axial load from the differential pinions into the housing. These friction plates provide a mechanism to tune the response of the differential as a function of applied torque load. Interchangeable plates using materials with different friction coefficients to fine-tune the bias ratio are sold separately. It comes standard with carbon-fiber bias plates for the best all around performance. The Wavetrac® differentials behavior can be altered in the field to suit your needs. Here's something else you won't find in any other design: Interchangeable Friction Plates Provide Controlled Bias It's like having two differentials in one: you get the benefit of a higher bias ratio when needed without detriment to the car's handling. This increase occurs automatically only when conditions find it necessary, and it 'reverts' back to its nominal bias ratio quickly and seamlessly, maintaining optimal drivability and performance at all times. This imparts an increased normal force through the side gears, increasing the bias ratio as a function of load. As the two side gears rotate relative to each other, each wave surface climbs the other, causing them to move apart. Precisely engineered, converging / diverging wave profiles are placed on one side gear and its mating preload hub. The Wavetrac® differential uses a patent pending design to improve grip in low traction conditions. VR6 Block Mount with polyurethane bushing 02A/02J Transmission Mount with. One of the known shortcomings of a typical torque biasing differential is its loss of drive (behaving much like an open diff) under zero or near-zero torque conditions (for example, when there is 'no-load' applied through the drivetrain, either at vehicle stationary and/or transition from engine driving vehicle to engine braking and back). This kit will keep the 02A/02J transmission in OEM position to maintain stock. 1998 - 2004 Volkswagen Beetle 5-MT (MkIV)Įnhanced No-Load Bias Ratio via Wave Design Center Pack.Please also note that we require your old transmission back as a core.

We will install a Peloquin or Wavetrac limited slip differential for $200 plus the cost of the differential with purchase of a transmission. Please allow up to 3 business days after purchase for shipment. Redline Superlight Shockproof & MT-LV (1 quart of each).We only approve the following gear oils, and you must use one of them in order to qualify for warranty coverage, do a flush after 500 miles and then change every 40-50,000 miles: These are shipped without shift towers and dry, you will need to add gear oil.

Warranty: 2-year, Unlimited Mileage against results of the rebuild. Price includes a $500 core charge to be refunded when we determine that your core is rebuildable, which may take up to two weeks. You must complete the year, make, model, and engine fields to place your order. This listing is for Mk4 TDIs with a 3.38 ring and pinion.
