I've got a KAAZ LSD in a B16a3 tranny and that damn thing clicks and clunks like no tomorrow sometimes in slow turns. Now from what i've been reading all over the place is that since it is a clutch type, it will do that. But my question is.... How much of a clunk or click sound/feel is normal. This is my first time w/ an LSD and i'm just a little worried that it's a little to much. Any advise would be cool... thanks

at slow speeds that POS clutch type LSD should sound like it's eating the transmission and should feel like it's jumping and ctaching all over. quaife rules.

 

When Kaaz's are new and not broke in, the clutches will chatter, esp. first thing in the morning.

I quited mine down by running Pennzoil Synchro mesh and 1/3 tube of posi additive.....

But mines also has 50k miles on it, time for a rebuild @ $275 for parts.

Right now i've got the KAAZ gear oil in there, what else should I throw in there to help it out a little or a lot? The LSD has maybe 3000 miles on it... And how will I know it's not blown or going out?

POS? Just because a racing part doesn't meet your NVH standards, doesn't mean it is a POS.

Sorry call me a noob but what is NVH?

 

Noise vibration and harshness.

LOL I feel dumb... hahaha But I just drove it again and it would be some what smooth sometimes and other times it would feel like I have a broken axle or something.. is that the norm?

 

As others have said, they are a bit 'crunchy' when they are new. It is possible that you don't have the proper transmission oil in there, you need something made for clutch type LSDs.

 

I've got the KAAZ gear oil in there.. The stuff that's like 40 bucks a can... Maybe it's just cause' it's new...

 

clutch type lsd's are noisy, its perfectly normal.

 

Understand your dealing with a race part......not a cushy street unit.

Contact Ray @ KaazUSA, but after the second can of Kaaz fluid, I never went back. First was used for breakin, second sttill felt alot of chatter, at at 10k miles I went with synchromesh.......

 

Geeese 10K and still chattery... LOL I guess i'm just gonna deal w/ it... hahaha Thanks for the input guys...

 

Mine makes a lot of noise too with 30k on it, I just deal with it cause I love the way it puts power down.

 

Cool well I look forward to fixing my oil leak so I can really drive it... LOL

 

I had the kaaz in my gsr trans scared the crap out of me clunking really bad on turns could not accelerate at all I use to turn in nuetral when the car was straight I gave it gas coming out of the garage forget it nasty I went to the track and broke my right axle from the inside by the trans sheared the shaft right off so I took the kaaz out im going to open it up and see whats going on in their I installed a typer r lsd now.Oh by the way do the brake in the figuer 8 I did it for like 50 miles at a grocery store parking lot at midnight the police came asked me if I was crazy they were watching me fo 20 minuites doing the 8 it did not help I think the clutches of my kaaz are not dissengaging so im going to take it apart.
