I had a friend just offer to give me a JDM factory Viscous LSD with the ring gear and speedo gear!

My question is: Will this setup work with my curent setup? (H22, with an F22 tranny)

If so how difficult is installation? (comparing to say an engine swap - or clutch install)

Also: If it will not work what would I need to be able to use it?

And would you recomend using it? Or should I just by the OBX LSD? I can't afford the Quaife no way no how so please don't recomend it!

Or should I just buy a whole new tranny?

Thank you!

inside the transmission is probably the hardest work you can do, there are all kinds of bearings, clips, crap, and clearances to worry about....

i have had more than enough problems with differentials....i would pay a shop to do it, or just dont...

oh and ps....i would love to see it if you had a viscous diff.....are you sure its not a torsen type??

well then i suggest you dont try to install that diff....

 

I will prolly have it done for me! Not a big deal!

 

i'd definitely have the tranny taken out of the car, then take the tranny and the LSD to the shop.

tranny removal/reinstall is at least a $300 charge, and it's something most of us can do ourselves.

i'm pretty sure the diff is a torsen diff--and i'm not sure if it'll fit in an F22 casing.

 

I am convinced all prelude LSDs were viscous, all accord LSDs were torsen..

 

Read this and make your own conclusions.

Oh and next time search before you post.

Thanks for the help Pirate, but I still don't exactly understand!

That whole post was a little over my head when it comes to transmissions!

It sounded like they said it will work! (correct me if I am wrong)

But is that without case modification?

Is this gonna be worth the time and money it will take, or should I just save and buy a new tranny altogether?

Thanks

 

For the price you pay to "try" and time to make it work only to find out that it doesn't you could of found yourself a factory lsd equiped unit.
