cute wee gem Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I took my LSD apart tonight and gave the shim to my mate to make up a new one slightly thicker. I just don't know how much? I'm guessing 0.010-0.030 from what I've seen before, but that was on a completely different diff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cute wee gem Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 But what should I shim it by? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 to be honest its a bit of a gamble till you know how its works, theres alot of fucking round till you find the corret preload t suit what you want and if your starting blind itd be better to get a few 0.010 shims made up so you can play around and then its a case of putting and pulling siad shims till you decide what suits you unless you have a ftlb breakway torque in mind which will be much easier to measure on a bench Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cute wee gem Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 Fair call, anything tighter than what it is now would be good lol. I've also heard of people using shims up to 1.5mm? now I'm really confused. The standard spacer is probably 3-3.5mm (one at each end) Edit: done a bit of googling and and going to try 0.020 and hope for the best, will get more made if needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Huge favour. Can you grab a picture of it or tell me if it looks like kyles one? edit: And hell, it can never be too tight can it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cute wee gem Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 Picture of the lsd in bits or as a whole diff? Got a pic of Kyles? Got a shim made anyway and will put it together tomorrow night/put it in this week so I'll come back and comment on how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cute wee gem Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 Well I made it 0.020 bigger and it's definitely tighter and will happily spin the outside wheel and swing out sideways in the dry now, but I'd like to shim it slightly more for a bit of predictability. Anyway here's some pics, Brad. Not sure what you were after so took a few. First friction/clutch disk is pretty worn for some reason but the rest of the disks are still sweet.
