LSD not working.

[Nalleywhacker]

I was out last nite having some fun, and i realized my lsd isnt working. It seems to work if iam driving strait, but when iam turning its peg leg. I guess my question is whats the best thing to do when this happens? do i fix the stock one?, find another used one and hope it works? find a thorsen? or is it just worth it to save up for like a kaaz?

Eat some more then!

Really, its just worn out. They are re-buildable as well. Many jsut replace them for lower mileage ones.

How do you know if it's bad? Does it feel like a bad drivetrain,driveshaft,no traction?

I just swapped mine out. I noticed my car was spinning a lot more when I tried to get on it in second and third. I got home and did a burnout in front of my house and I only left one black mark. I swapped my 3.91 out for my stock 3.73's. It's working correctly but it's whining right now. I've already purchased another 3.73 to replace mine with.

mine peg legs but only half the time and only in the rain around corners......its weird in the dry it does fine tho.

prolly worn out.

sounds like a good time to switch to an N/A 4.30..

I love mine combined with a turbo..!

I have a Kaaz 2-way in my car and I love it.

Yeah, 4.30s pull like WHOA! :biglaugh: But don't you get tired of the almost useless first gear and super-short second gear?

 

[Poodles]

With my stock 3.73 first and second gear are short anyway

I'd hate to have a 4.30 with just my mods, not even going to think aobut if I had more power...

Nope, I've had 3 w58's with 4:30's, so I'm just used to it..

I had 4.30s for a while with very similar mods to yours and 1st might as well have not existed :biglaugh: 2nd could actually see full boost for a second though! I kind of miss it but 3.73s are much more practical.

i have kazz lsd i love it as well go team kazzz


but alot of the tim's most diff's just need to be re tighten up and the clutch packs are fine withc is pretty cheep to do

 

[black89t]

4.30 are way to short. and another used one will peg leg sooner rather than later. i have a extra 3.73 that i'm going to rebuild sometime. it was whinning really bad and would barely posi up. i tore it down and inspected it. the pinion debth is shallow and the clutch packs are worn. with new clutch packs and the pinion debth set right it will be good to go. i recommend you doing the same. for under $200 you can get all new friction and clutch disk. if its not whinning i would just pop in a new clutch packs. leave the pinion alone and just take out the carrier. DON'T MIX UP THE SHIMS AND CAPS FOR THE CARRIER BEARINGS and you'll be good.

4.3 :rofl:

+1

I got the same setup and its a blast to drive. and i get full boost in ALL gears but i got the 7m-ge+a 57trim to thank for that i tihnk.

Its pretty easy to tell if your pegleggin it when doing a donut.

Ive got the 4.10 right now a 4.30 would be pointless! i already have no traction in first through third in the rain.

 

[Nalleywhacker]

ill probally find a non lsd and weld it untill i can afford a kaaz.

do you really need to put much power down in the rain?

and if your worried about traction in the rain, welding a rear end(on a dd)...:nono:

Yeah that's smart.

 

[Poodles]

Welding a diff is BAD.

-bad tire wear
-getting pulled over for breaking traction around corners
-trying to drive around corners without breaking traction
-wear on the drivetrain
-inevitable failure of the diff

Unless it's a trailered drag car or a cheap drift car (not going to be cheap in the long run), don't do it!
