Jim you may know what this is with all your work on the jag rear end.

More specifically tring to identify the actuall limited slip unit, not sure the final drive unit is jag or something else but the lsd looks like a  Dana or Jag type unit or possibly GKN.

Anyone else please feel free to chime in.

That's a Power-Lok posi. Good units. All steel clutches, should have about 60 ft/lbs of static break away force. Jag Salisbury housing. Gears look to be in the low 3 series somewhere.

Jim

Thanks Jim,

Thought you'd know the answer,   wasn't sure it was a jag as I couldn't see any mounts for the inboard disc brakes unless it's a later outboard model.

Kevin

Looks like it might be the '64-'67 XKE unit. It would use a pair of "horseshoe shaped caliper mounting brackets". Earlier units had 7 holes and later had holes in the bearing cap for caliper mounting.

Jim,

Thanks for the additional info, the guy who bought it was mislead as he was told it came out of a TR7! which obviously it didn't unless some one had installed a jag rear end.

He has stripped it and not unexpectedly the clutch discs are shot but they should be readily available, main issue will be whether the posi unit will mate with the SD1 axle he want's to put it in, we will see.

Kevin

It's essentially a Dana 44 unit so if the SD1 runs a D44 or comparable Salisbury he's in good shape. How bad are the clutches, just worn thin, or evidence of abuse? I had a Power-Lok that had been beaten pretty hard, one of the clutch plates was actually broken. It turned out to have egg shaped side bearing journals which became obvious when I went to put the new bearings on. Apparently the heat warped it. Just something to look for.

He can possibly get some coin for that housing.

Jim

Jim,

He's done a trial fit and it all seems to match up which is useful knowledge. I had the same thought that the E type housing may be worth something.

Thanks again,

Kevin..
