on my crx i have a b16 with a bolt on lsd. the only problem i have with it is that it makes a clunk noise while making turns. but on straight aways its fine.

 

I believe that's normal, depending on what type of lsd you have.

 

thats normal.

 

how is that normal? explain please.

 

check it out dude. what type of oil r u supposed to use. i know your not supposed to use gear oil.

 

all LSDs make noise while turning. ive had a few experiences with a couple of 240sxs with 2 ways and it clicks.

 

What kind of lsd is it a gear type or a disc type? The ones that use friction discs need a special oil, or regular gear oil with a friction modifier. They will always make clunking noises on very tight turns almost sounds like a bad axle but this is normal. If you have a gear type(type R quaife or OBX) you should not notice any noise.

 

its a gear type lsd. and you can hear it on normal turns and tight turns.

this is correct I have a Kaaz LSd which is clutch or disc type and wow just noisy but normal and yes need special oil and speedo

and if u getting a noise from a gear type must be either a install issue or use of wrong oil? to thin maybe? I think installed wrong or snapped it which I haven't heard of on normal use

 

was the lsd just put in? If so was it shimmed properly? or was the tranny just opened up and it was slapped in? to shim it properly you need to remove both gearsets and bolt the cases together then check the clearances between the case. I just put a cusco diff in and just paid a local honda shop $60 to shim the case properly. Also were the old bearings removed from the old diff and reused or were new ones installed? The bearing can get messed up when pulling off of the old diff. Also is this a obx diff that could be your problem right there. I have heard of these things put together wrong

 

probably a obx. so much **** you have to do to make them work.

 

this was just bolted on. it looks like it cuz i just took it off. the lsd had 90w-80 gear oil with lucas oil. the bearings are fucked. well i didnt do the work but i had to do my research for a homie. this is good i like the info thanks alot you guys.
