i found someone local selling a jdm y1 lsd trans. The price is fair.
He says its great shape, only used for 1yr before he went with hydro setup. No grinds really smooth etc...

Now How to tell if it really has LSD or if LSD is still good?

I searched and found if theres no bar going though where the axles slide in that its lsd.. If you can see right though.. Also that if you spin one axle the other one goes in the same direction.. that means LSD.. Right???


Okay not to test the tranny itself.

I was thinking of poping an axle in, and spinning the tranny though all the gears, and seeing how smooth it feels. I know this is no indication to the syncros.. But hes local and im doing a pickup at his residence so i could always go back if its junk. But to do a quick test first.

Now he says it comes with axles and intermediate shaft. I will have to pop these out to do a visual on the LSD, best way is just a small crowbar right?

Thanks.. hopefully in a few days i can say goodbye to peg-leg.

 

^ 100% correct.

I would recommend splitting the case and inspecting the gears/synchros before installing it.

 

I will do.

I also am going to do input shaft seal, and axle seals.
