Will this work? Can i use jdm lsd in place of us diff? What about jdm final drive ring gear? Thanks for any help. I looked at top of forum index and didnt see any threads.

 

If it is from a hydro trans yes, you need to use the countershaft and ring gear from the LSD trans as well.

 

Can i get a countershaft seperately. I just bought lsd and final drive gear with bearings pressed in.

Does this item thats for sale include the countershaft? Called hmo and also synchrotech.. Got it figured out. Thanks

 

Ok so i was informed the for sale listing was a misprint.. Its a cable lsd. Will that work in hydro trans? I doubt it but worth asking for sure.. Kinda bummed now

 

Whats best type of lsd? Clutch type metal plate or helical

 

OEM cable LSD won't work in a hydro.

You can't order the countershaft. The CS and RG need to be from the same trans.

Best type of LSD depends on your use. RR/AX = clutch type. Street/strip = helical.

 

Ok so if i get a cable b16 trans im good? Can i ask what makes helical better for street and clutch type for autox? Im thinking of selling my hydro trans and just buying a cable trans.. Alot easier to find than i thought.

 

So any lsd i buy if its used must have matching CS and RG?

 

should i just sell hydro tranny and get cable tranny install lsd and get mfactory 4.7fd? or should i keep hydro tranny setup and get mfactory lsd and 4.7fd??

 

If you have a pre-92 cable trans you'll be fine. Helical is silent and requires no extra maintenance. Clutch-type makes noise and requires rebuilds.

If you get a OEM viscous LSD (everything but the ITR/CTR) you need the matching ring gear and countershaft. The RG/CS can be from a different trans than the LSD, but they need to be from the same trans as each other, which much also be a viscous LSD trans.

MFactory only makes a 4.9 final drive for the pre-92 cable transmissions, no 4.7 is available. 92+ has more options: 4.05, 4.266, 4.533, 4.60, 4.785 and 4.923.
