Torsen Retrofit

[ScottyCBoy at aol.com]

There are a few problems:

You are dealing with different gearboxes. Few of the internal components are interchangable between the 100q box and the 016 box.

You cannot simply bolt on a torsen to a non torsen 016 box. You would have to change the pinion shaft and gears to use the torsen.
