Default what to look for when buying used LSD?

inever took one apart or know whats inside one.

i have a general idea of what it does.

is there any way to tell if its broken or damaged in any way by visually inspecting it when its out of the tranny?
turning shaking wiggling etc?

what kind of lsd do you have?
theres really no telling without taking the lsd a part and checking the gears inside.

ok i picked it up and took it apart but not sure what to look for

i cleaned the gears and looked at the surface wear and its not much just barely worn. no cracks or chips on gears either.

is there a topic here about it that i cant seem to find i know im not the first one to ask about this?

im trying to identify it

the stamp says 01j and around the diff it says 01b4
ive beens earching googles and here but nothing comes up with those numbers

by the pics you've posted I see you have a rare FURD TURD Traction-Lok Diff.

Wait, you didn't post pics so we are blind and clueless as to what you are playing with.

Tranny ****, POST IT!

Does it say Quaife anywhere? Sounds like it's a QDF1U. If you've had it open and nothing is broken inside, it's ready to rock.

OEM ITR LSD, missing speedo ring gear, likely swapped out for Quaife or MFactory.

SC, I assume you work with "Mac" ?

Mac works? I've wondered what he did on that side of the office.

jk, Mac is cool. He helped me get up to speed here pretty quick.
