just finish swaping a 98 jdm R into my 94 dx. it runs very strong. the only thing is the LSD is very tight. when i make a tight turn at low speed, i can hear the inside tire locking up and loosing traction. i cant even drive this car with one hand on the steering wheel, when i'm in a corner and get on the gas the steering wheel just wants to straighten out. I had a LSD tranny before on my jdm b16a, it was a mechanincal LSD and it did not feel close to being as tight as this one. i was wondering if there might be an aftermarker LSD in it, or maybe because i dont have power steering, but i didn't have power steering in my crx with LSD also.

 

my LSD doesn't do that...I think all of the aftermarket ones like qualif and cusco are even more aggressive

 

i think it might be an after market one because the silicone seal between the two halfs of the tranny was very sloppy and it was red. i thought honda used honda bond in that area. i hope it's not a clutch-pack type lsd even though it's better for auto x-ing, but it requires rebuild.

do you still have power steering? you probably won't feel it as much with power steering.

 

Im haven one put in right now I hope mine dont do that!

 

it's not a bad thing, it's just a little too aggressive for every day driving without power steering. i just wanted to know if it was a stock LSD was that aggressive.

 

I have a Quaife and mine doesnt do that.

 

i dont think mechanical lsd is as bad as clutch type.

 

Hmmm.. when you turn do your tires chirp?!..if so sounds like a spool becuase thats what i have and thats what it does... if u shift hard does it want to jump out of your hands??

 

I'de say it's a spool too or maybe you got ripped off and it's welded or something. Did you look through the diff when the axels were out?

 

i don't think its welded because it only locks up when i accelerate, not when i'm coasting through a turn. i've driven a car that has welded diff and it not like that at all. i think it's just a really agressive aftermarket LSD.

 

sounds just like my Kaaz.........

Pulling away from a stop sign while making a left...........chirping from the inside tire.

Now, what tranny fluid did you use? IF you have a clutch LSD unit, you may need some posi additive to quiet the clutch discs inside the diff.

I use 2 quarts of 85w90 gear oil with 1/2 tube of Autozone posi lube. I'm gonna try the Pennszoil Synchromesh fluid next time tranny goes back in.

The tranny was removed because of a broken 3-4 shifter fork.

I was also running skinny 155/80/13's on the street (sleeper!) and never tested the LSD with with the normal 195/50/15's as the tires were TOAST!!!!!!!!

gotta love the even heating of the slicks with a LSD.........

 

heh nice.
looks like your doing a burnout in reverse.

 

Man sounds like a KAAZ ive seen alot of JDM motors come over with resilconed housings and they have KAAZ installed due to the fact that KAAZ is Japan made and i dunno about quief.

I know a friend had a KAAZ and they are rear tight they like to lock up hard when new and the tires chrip when turning.

Something is very wrong. The inside tire should not lock up in a tight corner. And when your in a corner and get on the gas you should feel the lsd pulling you through the corner, it should not want to straighten out. Getting on the gas makes it easier to turn as the lsd does some of the work for you. Something is broken.

 

Is the tire just cherping or is like u have a spool in there. Ive never tried on the hoist if u lock one tire up and the car in N can u spin a LSD a bit??

 

if its a clutch type LSD it will do that just like clutch chatter you know....use GM LSD aditive its at the GM dealer and use GM syncro mesh too. Its the best thing for your tranny. If its gear type LSD, it should NOT do that......my friend has ef with y1 LSD and it has chatter cause its clutch type......buddy has Qauife or however you spell it and its a gear type LSD and it makes no chatter or tire lock up...... just my .02 cents

kevron

 

now that i have more seat time, i deffinitly think it's a clutch type lsd (new one, or an aggressive one). i just keeped the same tranny fluid that it came with. ill probably pull the tranny out sometime latter to see for sure what kind of lsd it is, or even if it has after market clutch. my swap even came with a jdm vtec controler still connected to the ecu and hyper ground wires. i checked the cams and they look like stock type R cams.

 

aawwwww!! Does anybody still love the one-wheel peel?
