Torsen Axle

[Walker]

I know this subject has been beaten to death, but I haven't been able to find the answer using the search tool.

Does anyone know if the Type II uses the same axles as the Type I? By axles I mean the spline shaft that goes into the diff.

thanks

If you're talking about the original "university special" differential, the Torsen website says the splines are indeed the same.

The type II is not the old style "university special." The type II can be found in Miatas and such. I don't believe the spline is the same, but I forget what my reference was on that. If anything, it's a bit more standard than the Audi one.
