In the search in learning about LSD's for my build Ive come around a good amount of information in the internet that I will centralize in this thread. Alot of this information is from KAAZ. Hopefully this will be useful to some of you, Im no Bense.

A 1 way LSD only locks when the car is accelerating, which helps to keep the car stable under acceleration. A 2 way LSD locks equally during acceleration and braking which additionally helps to keep the car stable and balanced under braking, although can require a little extra driver skill to avoid understeer in corners by unlocking the LSD A 1 </TD></TR></TABLE>

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by What's the benefit of having a Limited Slip Differential ( LSD ) ? &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote"> If your car currently has a standard open differential fitted or even a viscous limited slip differential that's passed it's best you may wonder what benefit the LSD will give. Crudely, in a standard open differential, the differential attempts to distribute the power equally across both wheels, but will prefer to send power to the path of least resistance. Hence in a corner the outside wheel is turning faster so most of the power is transmitted through it.</TD></TR></TABLE>

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by How do I break in my Kaaz Limited Slip Differential ( LSD ) ? &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote"> We understand that the chattering noise can be of concern. But correct break-in of the LSD should fix it in most cases. The best way to break in the LSD, and remove the chattering noise is by driving in a "figure of 8" pattern. The break-in should last between 30-45 minutes and during this time the aim is to try to allow the plates to rub against each other within the LSD, but without applying lock in the corners. </TD></TR></TABLE>

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by What type of gear oil should I use for my Kaaz Limited Slip Differential ( LSD ) ? &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote"> KAAZ "PowerTrain Gear Oil" has been specially blended to remove chatter and extend the LSDs life. All-synthetic gear oils should be avoided as they will make the LSD, more noisy in operation. </TD></TR></TABLE> Based on this one can conclude that you should use the according fluids from the manufacturer of the LSD.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by What is the noise that I can hear from my new Limited Slip Differential ( LSD ) ? &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote"> When a new mechanical LSD is installed, it can give out an unusual chattering noise. This is caused by the clutch plates vibrating as they slip over one another and can be reduced or eliminated by proper break-in of the LSD. You are most likely to hear it when driving at low speed or backing into the garage. Once the LSD has been properly broken in the noise will disappear, although some larger LSD's can continue to make some chattering noise even after break in.</TD></TR></TABLE>
