Cazza Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Have been hearing a rumour and wanted to know if fact or fiction? Is it true that doing burnouts with an LSD then requires you to re-setup the clutches in the LSD? (havent tried this myself but need to know before LSD is put in Cortina for competitions!)

Gaz Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Nope. I supose repeted use of it will eventually require a rebuild but burnouts no more than rally work. There is heaps of good info here. //oldschool.co.nz/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=6603 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Random Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 LSD work on a clutch pack that is engaged by electronic or spring or whatever. the clutches slip and eventually lock up transfering all power to both wheels. over time (depending on how you use ya LSD, and how many times a day) the clutches lose there grip, springs lose there tention and the LSD becomes tired. Its the same principal as to why the clutch wears out in the gearbox. the clutch packs can be replaced and specialists can get LSDs to act as responsive as lockers. But yes, they do wear out.
