New Product Announcement – Challenger / Charger SRT

Torsen is pleased to announce the introduction of a model – 975420-0195A, for the Dodge Challenger and Charger models that use the Getrag 226 axle.  This axle is commonly found in the SRT8 cars, as well as some R/T and other assorted models with performance packages.  This T-2R design is architecturally related to our Ford Super 8.8 & Chevy 5th Gen Camaro products.  Torque bias ratio is approximately 3:1 in drive, 2:1 in coast.  Available now:

SEMA, Office Closures and Web Orders

As previously announced, Torsen Differentials will be displaying at the SEMA show in Las Vegas, NV.  The show runs October 31st through November 3rd.  During that week, our engineering & sales / tech support office will be closed, as most of the staff will be at the show.  However, the manufacturing, finance & shipping departments will remain open and we will still be taking orders via this website.  Orders of in stock models will still be shipped during the show.

If you attend SEMA, pop by our both (#35239) – upstairs in the South Hall – and chat with us.  We’d love to hear what you’re working on, where you’ve used Torsen, and what applications you think you’d like to see a Torsen for.

New Product Announcement

Wow, 2018 has been flying by.  We’re more than a half the year gone, and this is the first time we’ve had a chance to post anything here.  But there’s good news – announcing new products!

Peregrine High-Torque Differentials for S550 Mustang

We mentioned this in passing a while back.  Under the code name “Peregrine”, we have developed a pair of high-torque capacity T-2R differentials for 2015 and newer Mustang models.  These differentials have 6 planet gear sets, and as a result, can boast a significant increase in gear strength rating, fatigue life and impact load capability.  These are ideal for severe-duty situations, such as road racing or drag strip use.  Peregrine models are available for both 3.15:1 final drive ratio and 3.31: and higher ratios.

T-2R for JK Dana 44

This seems like such a no-brainer, I don’t know why we didn’t do it sooner.  We now offer a T-2R model specifically for the Dana 44 axle used in Jeep Wrangler JK models.  The JK uses a version of the Dana 44 with 1/2″ diameter ring gear bolts; whereas other versions use 3/8″ or 7/16″ bolts.  We’ve made this to accommodate the larger bolt to allow a direct fit.  Fits 2007 and newer Wranglers with rear Dana 44, with both 3.21 & 3.73:1 OEM final drive ratios.

More New Products!

Announcing more new products!

JTEKT Torsen is pleased to bring back the Type-1 differential for the 31-spline Ford 9-inch axle.  We were able to produce a limited quantity of these babies, so once they sell out they will be gone.  The Type-1 is the original, crossed-axis Torsen, which has naturally high TBR characteristics.  Torque bias ratio on this unit is approximately 4:1, and is suited for assorted circle track or street rod applications.

We are also adding a brand-new T-2R model for the Ford 9.75″ axle.  The 9.75 is commonly found in F-150 models starting from way back in 1997.  It is also used in the Expedition and some Transit vans.  This is a high-TBR model, primarily intended for off-pavement use.  Torque bias ratio is approximately 4.5:1.
