i baught a jdm lsd b16 tranny from a fulla for a parts tranny. he told me that the lsd was makin a clicking noice like an axle while turning corners and before he took it out it started to do it ina straight line. also before he took it out he replace the two axles and it still did it. i believe he said he used crappy tire axles and sometimes they click from new. i got it and braught it home and split the case and found that the two diff bearings were ****ed. i took the gears out and jus sat the diff in its place and spun it and the bearings roared like a bastard. i also found the magnet had a bit of filings and a few little peices of metal about the size of the tip of a bic pen on it but everything else looked to be fine. my buddy is a mechanic and he said that the filings would have came from the bearings because they r quite bad. so im wonderin if the bad bearings would make that kinda noice or is the diff actually ****ed. its a clutch type lsd and i counted the teeth on the ring gear and got that its a 4.4 fd. heres a few pics of the diff

 

Either that's not your diff or 88 EF Hatch stole your pics.

 

Bearings need to be replaced. Filings are from lots of stuff in the trans, sliders are probably worn out. Take the diff apart and inspect the gears and clutch plates. I'd be concerned about the small pieces (bic tip size).

EDIT: 94EG8 I noticed that too. I noticed the speed limit sign appears to be in MPH, I figured since he is in Canada it would be in KM/H.

 

yes ur right its his diff but the same one, i thought i mentioned that in the first post.

the bearins were real bad, i believe they changed a seal on one side cause the seal is all **** eyed (shoved in to the bearing on one side and out in place on the other) and the bearing face was all shoved in against the bearings and loose so im hopin its a peice of the bearing cage or somethin simple like that.

is it a big job to take the lsd apart and check it over

 

Not a big job, you just have to know what you're looking at and be sure to reassemble it correctly.

 

jus went down in the shop and looked it over and found that the gears inside the lsd r all chewed to hell. is there a rebuild kit i can get for it and how much would it be or is ita right off

 

Contact a dealer for the LSD and find out. Likely cheaper to replace it entirely.

 

heres a few pics of the actual unit. thought it was the same but is not

 

Bigger pics would help, I can tell it's an LSD, but that's about it.
