installing the obx lsd, the new unit seems to sit about 1mm higher than the stock diff. not too big of a problem at first, but when the casing was tightened, it binds. Anyone know what the problem may be? anyone else installed one of these in a crx?

And please, only helpful info... i dont need comments like "thats what you get for buying obx, or obx sucks" their customer service has continuously fucked me and i need the help of people who actually know their **** (H-T)

 

i don't know exactly where you're talking about but try griding away some from where it's binding...hopefully the few that have done this will chime in.

Bump for cheap LSD help...

 

You need to remove the shim.

 

Binds with shim and without it.

Can't tell 100%, but it feels like the actual ring gear is binding on the casing.

Good, might have to do it, but torquing down the left hand ring gear bolts is a bitch, so I'm trying to avoind doing that over...

 

bump for a topic im positive will be brought up again in the future

 

what year tranny are you trying to put hte lsd into. That makes a difference considering it says it only works on certain years....

the lsd is supposed to work for 88-00 sohc civics.

 

i dont believe LSD from EGs work with EF's. so that seems wrong. id be surprised if im wrong, but wouldnt rule it out tho.

false advertising?

 

perhaps im thinking of just final drive gears not interchanging.

 

Fitment:
Honda Civic / CRX SI and EX (using 40mm bearings only)

I saw this in the OBX ad, does that have anything to do with it?

 

Its OBX yo!!!
Ive heard of many complaints about them making **** such as headers, IM and not fitting unless you make some custom **** to make it fit. Get a refund. In this case it might be false advertisment and only fit 92-00 trannys. Also complaints such as headers craking. Dont think you want that in your tranny.

 

yeah, interesting.

40mm bearing tranny (89 ZC equals 89 SI casing) is what we have. But 40mm bearings were gone by 92, so in saying that this part is to be used with 40mm bearings in say 97 tranny, they are wrong.
What of what they say is true? Hmmm...

 

Arent SI trannies different from DX,HF trannies

and hta t 88-89 are different from 90-91 soch trannies?? jes a htough...

 

i really hate ghetto rigging things, but can anything be done to MAKE the ****** fit and still function?

 

I may be incorrect but I believe that 88-89 had a 38mm? bearing and 90-91 had a 40mm? the 92+ I don't know about the size but I'm pretty sure it isn't interchangeable with the older ones.

 

si trannys are only 100 bucks usually and only the differentials are differnt in 88-91. So buy one that is the correct differential size. Here is what obx site says

88-00 Honda Civic CRX Si / EX models, except 90–91 Si 40mm bearings

Hope that helps.

they arent full of **** they listed it but they didnt exclude those years.


Josh

 

thanks, just found the link myself. trcikery going on over at ebay. TRICKERY I SAY!

 

Yeah, there is two ways to read that information, neither of the sellers wrote it cristally clear, really.
OBX is of no help so far, since they never returned my call to clear out the application.
