ok so i know that the OEM ITR JDM/USDM trannys have LSD and a way to spot them is to look through the axle hole and you should be able to see all the way through without a bar obstructing your view. My question is are all LSD like this? IE. Quaife/Phantom Grip/OBX or do certain aftermarket LSD have a bar inside the axle hole still?

 

No OEM or Aftermarket LSD will have any type of Bar in the center. The Phantom Grip is not a full LSD unit like a Quaife.

 

I cant see threw my wavetrac....thats normal right?!
sorry not trying to thread jack, just adding another lsd option to the mix.

 

Yes its normal to have the center plate in the center of a wavetrac diff

 

Has anyone every used the quaife lsd? I'm thinking about getting one for my h2b swap

 

Excellent LSD. Have used them in customers and have had a couple personally. No complaints!

 

its all good bro might as well learn as much as i can righttt?

well ok since the phantom grip is not a full LSD does that mean it might have a bar there? cuz i saw a picture of how to install it and it looks like its a bolt on not an actual differential o-o

 

Here is a pic of a NON-LSD that I just took to help:

 

The Phantom Grip will still use the center bar(differential pin)...it wraps around it.

 

That pic cant make it anymore clear, that should help the OP out.
And thanks for the answer to my question to

 

but you can see the difference. The OPM/CRE/SteveE diff that Phantom SLip copied as well.

 

Thanks Bone! I didn't have a pic of one installed since the last one we pulled out for a customer was exploded! LOL

 

I can say this, a PG does have a use.

When the diff pin wears through, it will keep the spider gears contained and not destroy the case.

The PG doesn't cause the explosion, Honda's weak diff pin does that.
