madlion

So you are having problems getting a new one in? Are the splines on the diff messed up?

madlion

madlion

i havent seen the lsd.. its at the shop now.. apparently it was stuck in my axel and also all my bearings in the trans were shot and there was metal stuck to the magnet inside the transmission

madlion

the shop must have the warranty info i just gave them the box the slip was in and had them install it with my new clutch and flywheel 5000 or less miles ago

wish i was as crafty with a transmission as i am with a computer

JDMisGOOD

anyways OBX sucks! good luck on getting them to cover it

madlion

yeah i dunno what to do
i miss my baby
good thing i have a strong legal team ! hopefully we can do things the nice way first if not ill take them all to court everyone involved in the whole process and the judge can figure it out

doublejz

i know my axles always get jammed into my lsd (i have a kaaz though) and i have to pound them out with a sledge and i never needed to replace it.

Marauder

On my integra, I had to pry pretty good to get the axle out of the stock diff. A new one went in like butter with grease.

tell peter you know alfredo from professionals in jersey city new jersey. i ued to deal with him personally before i moved to west virginia. he is actually a nice guy but i am not sure what the prob is. tell him you met me at the track or something cuz i am a track *****. let me know how it goes

rioninja

Here's an idea for you. Why dont you replace the snapring on the axle, like honda
recommends? Next time it wont get stuck.
If its stuck just tap it out from the other side with a long punch. Just watch out,
because the through-hole in the middle of the LSD is only about a 1/2".

madlion

i dont know i didnt install it i took it to a shop. the shop sounds confident that it was installed right but the part is faulty

Goinfasterthanu

Not saying it is the shops fault , but they like to blame the parts to cover their own ***. More often than not its the shop not installing it right..But good luck with it!!

FormulaGSR

i dont even use the snap ring. ITs not like the axle can come out. I was under the impression it was there for manufacturing purposes to hold the axle in during assembly. I dont have them on my axles now and whoever replaced them before didnt use them either.

earl

It has to do with the quality of heat treating between the OBX copy and Quaife. Splines will twist in the OBX but are bullet proof in the Quaife. One of several quality differences I noticed in taking apart the OBX for comparison.

FormulaGSR

do you think it would make a difference if the OBX was dissasswmbled and sent out for cryotreating. Its not that expensive and you'ld still be at half the price of a quaife.
