Wavetrac Differentials: Modern Engineering for Superior Performance

Designed from a clean sheet, the new Wavetrac Differential brings current gear technology to the market. Internally, its gear tooth forms are optimized for strength and improved oil film retention over competitive designs. Our gear package is smaller, reducing overall mass, yet more durable. Attention was also paid to the side gear/axle interface, putting as much material thickness as possible in this critical area - most important when power levels get high.

Wavetrac differentials are state-of-the-art helical gear differentials designed, developed, and manufactured in the USA by Autotech Driveline. The Wavetrac Differential is the only torque biasing differential on the market with patented technology that mitigates wheelspin when an unloaded wheel condition arises. During zero axle load conditions, the Wavetrac cam device acts to create internal load, maintaining drive on the gripping wheel instead of acting like an open diff (and going nowhere!).

Each Wavetrac Differential is crafted from the highest quality materials available. The internal gears are made from high strength 9310 alloy steel. The diff bodies are machined from case-hardened steel billet. To complete the package, every Wavetrac differential is built exclusively using high quality, high strength fasteners from ARP, the world leader in fasteners.

All Wavetrac differentials include a transferable, Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Labor to separate and machine ring gear –

This is the labor to separate the ring gear from your OEM MQB open differential, machine it to the correct thickness, and drill the bolt pattern to allow it to be mounted to the Wavetrac differential PN 10-309-193WK.

To start this process you will need to drain your rear end, check OEM backlash, then remove the OEM differential from the housing. From there you’ll need to remove the bearings and box up your OEM differential to send to us. Make sure to both box and pad it well, and ALWAYS insure the shipment for the cost of a replacement should it get lost. From there it will take up to 3-4 weeks for us to perform this service. Once completed we will ship you back your finished OEM ring gear for you to mount to your Wavetrac differential, press bearings back on, and reinstall.

We will not be doing installs into rear ends at this time, so DO NOT send your complete rear end housing to us.

the 2nd photo will show you exactly what you will need to ship to Autotech/Wavetrac (here in California) for service

Since the factory differential and ring gear are riveted together at the factory, when installing a Wavetrac differential or a new ring and pinion in your 020, 02A, 02J, 02Q or 02M transmission, you must drill out the rivets and replace them with special bolts and nuts. These are available from Volkswagen and also other aftermarket sources.After losing confidence with the quality and/or having been dumbfounded by the outrageous prices for these parts from these sources, we at Autotech now offer what we know to be the highest quality bolt sets available for your differential installation. Produced for us by ARP, the world leader in high grade fasteners, our bolt kits are made from certified CHQ 8740 Chrome Moly material (rated well above aircraft quality). Threads are rolled after heat treat ensuring the finest threads that can be torqued more accurately without binding. The splines on our bolts are sized correctly for the crucial press-fit into the differential flange. We use ARP 12-point nuts rated at 180,000 psi or better. Bottom line: you won't find a better bolt set. You're buying the best differential available... now buy the best bolts to hold it!
