Complete noob question..

[R3N5LOW]

Ohkayy so i've looked around and with my horrible searching skills i couldnt find what i was looking for


what kind of freaking lsd do i have?

89' turbo completely stock.


viscous?
doesnt seem like clutch type

sometimes it doesnt even hook up when im at a dead stop

someone help a fellow mk3 owner out!

thanks

clutch type change the fluid and add some diff additive from ford if its not to far gone this will help

Quite possible that your LSD has worn disks by now.

Ah dang

i guess it wouldnt hurt to flush it then change the fluid


do you know roughly how much it is to get lsd's rebuilt?

would it be worth it?

 

[BorHor]

I remember adding about $200 in parts alone. Could have been more. So in the end $300-400 to get it all done. Aftermarket LSD is about $800? All up to you.

Arg i think i'd rather just go all out and get a kaaz or cusco 1.5

sorry for so many questions but im having troubles finding this info

what weight of fluid should i use?

i honestly dont really know too much about diff fluids nor what brands are recommended

anyone help me out?

BORHOR!? ehh eh?
seem to know your stuff around here

75w 90 should be good. Many people on here use Redline.

And i'll be sure to check whether it has additives or not for lsd

well its on my to do list this weekend so i'll post it back up if its officially blown or not thanks for all the responses

For your diff get fluid without addatives and get the addative seperate. Put the fluid in and see if it makes any noise.. if it does just keep adding a little bit of LSD Addative in till the noise stops. This will help tighten up the LSD a little bit, but its probably pretty worn out.

Don't we have the same pumpkin as some of the 80's/90's Toyota Pickups? If so, I thought about doing a Detroit Tru-Trac if my lsd ever goes out...
