Mini Quaife Differential units – Mini Limited Slip Differential

The Mini QUAIFE differential will prevent loss of drive and traction that occurs with a standard Mini differential wheel slips. Whilst requiring some torque in the slipping wheel, the Mini limited slip differential QUAIFE Diff unit is progressive in action but does not lock completely – controlled power is transmitted through the limited slip Mini differential to all the driving wheels. Ideally suited to high powered front wheel drive Mini’s.

Paramount can supply Quaife differentials for almost all Mini models, if you don’t see what you are looking for please mail us at info@paramount-performance.com

Benefits of the Quaife Mini differential

• All Quaife Mini differentials come with a Life Time Warranty
• The Quaife Mini differential mmaximises traction and minimizes wheel spin
• Proven in drag and circuit racing, rallying and road use
• Eliminates torque steer and snatching in fwd cars compared to conventional Mini LSD
• Quaife Mini differentials are a maintenance free design and retains standard axle lubrication
• The Quaife Mini differential is pproduced from British Steel billets throughout
• CAD designed and CNC machined then inspected to ISO 9001 standards
• Massive range available for most Mini’s and many other vehicles

Quaife Mini differential - More traction, more speed
As engine power outputs increase ever further, the ability to use the extra power and performance becomes even more important. Wheel spin may look great but in reality is it a loss of traction and control, a waste time, uses fuel and tyres whilst going nowhere! Whether driving on the road, track day circuit, rally stage or drag strip – you need a Quaife Mini differential to give you control and usable power. Fortunately, QUAIFE’s patented Automatic Torque Biasing (ATB) Helical Mini LSD differential is an effective, well-proven, low-cost solution.
As a direct replacement for the standard, factory ‘open’ Mini differential, QUAIFE’s ATB Helical Mini LSD unit can transform the performance of your Mini. Unlike a conventional plate-style Mini limited slip units, QUAIFE’s ATB Helical Mini LSD unit relies on gears, rather than clutch plates for its operation.
That means it is much smoother in operation, because unlike a conventional plate-style Mini LSD, it never locks harshly with a set pre-load of wheel slip across the driven axle. Rather, it automatically biases the torque away from the spinning wheel across the axle, to a constantly varying degree and never locks.
To the driver (especially of a front-wheel drive Mini) the results are significant performance improvements; - superior, controllable traction without the harsh steering wheel snatch or torque steer that have long been associated with performance differentials. These traction benefits can also be utilised in rear wheel drive vehicles, while Mini QUAIFE ATB Helical Mini LSD units offer significant traction advantages fitted to the front of four wheel drive cars.
The Quaife Mini differential units are designed using the latest CAD techniques and are CNC machined to ultra-tight tolerances from the very best CORUS steel billets. The completed Quaife Mini differential units are then subject to rigorous in-house inspection on a tri-coordinate measuring machine before being dispatched to the customer.

Such quality means that unlike a conventional plate-style Mini LSD the Quaife Mini differential unit requires no special maintenance or rebuilds, long lasting and it retains the standard method of lubrication, making for an easy, pain-free upgrade.

Proven in rallying, racing and on the road, the Quaife Mini differential offers safe, reliable, winning performance.
