recently my friend bought a s1 trans with a lsd on the boards

the guy shipped it good and the guy is reputable,


me/friend put the trans in his 2nd gen integ w/gsr motor in a couple hours


turned the car on...drive down the hill ..while making any silght left or right turn of the wheel..the car makes a horrible clicking/popping noise, axles are fine, all the axles are in...could it be the lsd thats messed up? i noticed popping noise around trans area while he was going down the hill...happens no MATTER what speed, havnet drove it even past 5 mph due to this horrible noise

what would be the symptoms of a bad lsd?, this is a gear type Lsd

 

it could be the LSD, are your sure it was installed right/ the gut is reputable, my first instict was axle but your sure that there good

 

sounds like to me you guys popped the axle out, happened to a friend when you guys take it out if you pull on it to hard it will snap.....then clunk clunk everywhere especially turning.

 

yeah you have to use a prybar to get out the axles, try some new axles first cause its most likely that and the cheapest solution

 

the axles are fine , installl was fine, im thinking its the lsd, the guy said he had it inspected at a shop first...got the trans nice and clean with a tag on it.

when my friend was turning even a silght bit the horrible noise appeared..and this is at very very slow speed

im thinking its the lsd .

bump, we already tried to put a new axle in the min we heard the problem, we went and put a spare axle in it, still noise

he drove the car in the air...no noise at all even when turned so would that dismiss the lsd?

 

yeah this is my car with the problem. the tranny is an s1 with lsd but s1 trannys didnt come with lsd. i dont know if that would cause this problem or not. but yeah axels r good. ive done axel jobs about 10 times so i know how to take them off and put them back on right. anybody else with any clue wut it could be?

 

nobody has any idea wut could be wrong? im pretty sure nuthing else is messed up besides something in the tranny since nuthing was messed up when i had my old tranny on. i guess imma have to take the tranny off and have it looked at again. BTW Gear Speed in so cal is the shop that cleaned and inspected the tranny.

 

bump any new info? Did you find out what wa wrong?
