So i've been told that the diff's on these tranny's are week. so what type of lsd can i put in this tranny to make it more strong and solid?

 

Are you looking at a plate or gear type LSD? MFactory or Quaife are the top two choices.

 

whats the difference between plate and the gear type LSD if u dont mind telling me.

 

Metal Plate LSD: http://www.teammfactory.com/metal-plate-lsd

Helical LSD: http://www.teammfactory.com/helical-lsd_features

Each has pros/cons, just depends what you will be using your car for, drag or road racing, or just a DD.

 

I have Cusco plate in my Y1 box, best thing on the car... I DD mine and its no hassle, little heavy when parking as I have no PS, but thats all, and its great on the circuit.

MFactory 4.9 FD next.

 

personally I'd go for the helical LSD. No clunking and its smooth for a DD and the occasional track. metal plate LSDs lock harder and are quicker to respond. Have a cusco LSD in my EF and IMO it sucks for daily drive. would rather have a helical one instead.

 

sweeet guys thanks, my car does clunk some how.mechanics are saying my gear sncyro's are fucked.

 

No clunking from my diff....

 

what oil ure using for yr tranny?? mine clunks a wee bit when its not been driven (e.g when cars been left for the night). currently on cusco LSD oil...

 

one day driving normal...mine tried to escape


before that, not a single problem. so we took the diff out of a spare b18a1 trans we had lying around and good to go. but hopefully nex week I'll be buying a Wavetrac LSD

 

os giken FTW!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Ya got a hole in that case, was that an open oem or lsd. I've had no tranny issues since
I installed a type r lsd diff in my ys1. Pretty much broke a tranny every year, broke
3 diffs and they all put big holes in the cases.

 

open diff. had it for 3 years w/o incident and one day that happened. bought a Wavetrac LSD and diff bearings today so we'll see how that is

 

same story for me...
