Default LSD problem, please help.

Hi there, I bougt a LSD, and one of the problem is that I don't know wich brand it is. It is a Plated LSD 1,5 way.
By the pictures I'we seen it looks exactly like a Kaaz, but could be an Cusco or Spoon to.. :roll:

So here are some pics, and I hope someone can identify it..




The biggest problem is that today when I was going to install it, the speedometer sensor didn't fit, cause you can't use the original speedometer ring
from the original LSD, as you see on the 1st pic the "ring" is on the "house".

And I saw that when you buy a spoon you get a new gear for the speedometer sensor, and that is what I need I think.
But need to know what brand my LSD is, and where I can buy it from. Hope you understood my poor english.

Best regards, István

Cause It was good price, only run 300miles, and the seller didn't know the brand. He had it in his DC5..

Okay, I will try with a picture



On my LSD, I cant take off the speedoring from the LSD, like on the standard one (green dot), cause it isnt removeable like the standard as you can see on the picture.
The diamter is also bigger by about 7millimeters of the "speedoring" than on the standard open differential.

The speedometer sensor, down to the right, I think that I have to change that litle gear that is on that, for a smaller one, and that has a litle tighter between it "teeths" Cause as you can see on the picture, the new LSD hasnt the same distance between the "teeths" on the speedoring as the OEM.

Sorry once again for my poor english, hope you understand!

It isn't any mark ore something like that on the house..

And I think that it looks exactly like a Kaaz, but what I heard, is that Spoon and Kaaz looks almost identical, without any markings to do them appart..

Has anybody, or can anybody help me find pics of the Spoon LSD to K20 6sp. gearbox? Best regards.

Does anybody atleast know where I can buy that litle speedo gear for the Spoon LSD? So that I can try something..
I.m.o. that litle gear must be standard from a nother car brand? Maybee somebody knows?

And has nobody a photo of the Spoon LSD for our trannys?

Yep, your gonna have to change your smaller speedo gear. I'm not sure as to where you can find one though.. search around. Good luck man, your gonna love the LSD. I just got my ITR one in and the car handles SO damn well.

I'm pretty sure you have a KAAZ.

No problem so far getting a replacement gear for me from KAAZ USA. Give them a call.

I'll post again though when I actually get the replacement.
