cubastreet Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I have 2 viscous LSDs, both I think out of turbo legacies. The first one I bought off tardme and it had been overpowered and the washers that the little spider gears bear against had broken up. When I put a pair of stub axles in the diff centre I can slowly turn it by hand. The 2nd one (thanks again jase) will only turn if I put one end in a vice and put a screwdriver through the stub axle in the other end and then it just turns very slowly. Can anybody tell me if the first centre is stuffed? or is the 2nd one too tight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogre Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 have had some great experiences with LSD, was never very viscous tho.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Rex Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 You should be able to replace the Shims in the first diff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
