i have a 97 itr tranny been in car for a while now but now when i turn it make loud knocking noise could it be a blow lsd or something gone bad inside?

 

Check your CV boots.

 

it's not the cv boots its coming from the tranny forsure

 

sorta ot: to to check for lsd, lift from wheels off the ground, and turn. if they turn opposite of each other, means you have lsd? mine turns the same direction..

 

same direction = LSD
different = open

 

I'm pretty sure it's the other way around. I have read many times to check the LSD by putting the car into gear and then by turning one wheel, if the other wheel spins in the opposite direction the LSD is then working properly.

A car with with a standard open differential will spin in opposite directions...unless you're telling that my 1989 CRX had LSD too

 

Please some one tell me that i'm right.

 

Since you have no load on the wheels, it'll still probably spin opposite directions.

The ITR diff either works or it doesn't. No in between. I would be hard pressed to believe you broke it unless you:

1) Make mad monkey power and drag race with huge slicks.
2) Went airborn on one side for at least a second and had the pedal all the way to the floor. Hell, I've gone airborn on a side for a split second every lap on some tracks, and it still doesn't break.

Taken from the Helm manual

Limited slip differential
Operational check

1-Set the parking brake and block the rear wheels
2-Raise the front of the vehicule and support it with safe stand.
3-With the engine off, shift the transmission in first gear
4-Rotate either front wheel by hand and check that the other wheel rotates in the
opposite direction.
5-If the opposite front wheel does not rotate, or if you cannot spin the front
wheels at all the limited slip differential is faulty and should be replace.

Hope this help.

 

As said before, wheels will turn opposite directions with or without lsd.

 

But if it's a bad lsd then it won't spin in opposite directions?

 

What about the proximity switches that are on the back of the break back plate. I notice a problem with tork steer sometimes. thought it was the alignment but it was fine. I thought about cleaning the the ring on the cv hub. I don't know if the thing is magnetized or not.

 

The question is not weither or not there is an LSD on his car but weither or not it is functioning properly. As mention in step five of my previous post, if, while in first gear, the other wheel does not spin or if he cannot turn either wheel then there is a problem with the LSD (assuming he as one of course).

 

ohh i did it in neutral and it spun the same direction. i'll try it in gear next time

 

won't doing a halfburntout/launch on some light pavement show?

if you got 2 lines straight down = lsd right?

 

nah not quite, on my Si it's alway's 2 tires.

no LSD here.
