Quaife ATB Differential for 02J Gearboxes (VW Golf Applications)
Upgrade your traction and handling with a Quaife Automatic Torque Biasing (ATB) helical gear limited slip differential engineered specifically for 02J-series gearboxes found in many VW Golfs.
If you want to confirm fitment for your specific Golf, just send me your car’s registration and I’ll look it up for you.
The Quaife ATB is designed to eliminate the loss of drive experienced with a conventional open differential when one wheel begins to spin. Instead of locking, the ATB uses precision helical gears to progressively transfer torque to the wheel with traction, resulting in improved grip, smoother power delivery, and enhanced control — without harsh lock-up characteristics.
