I just bought a gsr tranny from a guy and it has a kaaz lsd that needs to be rebuilt. Where can I send it to get it rebuilt and will it be worth it or should I just get a quaife. I am in Atlanta. I heard that the kaaz works better that the quiafe but is a pain to break in and has to be rebuilt every once and a while but the quaife has a lifetime warranty and does not break. I need something that will last, this is my 4th tranny. I have been using a stock diff with a phantom grip. The diff broke all three times and one of the main reason is that I have major wheel hop. I will correct the wheel hop problem with a z-10 traction bar. I am boosted with 260 whp and 195 lbs of torque. I need to heard some opinions from some of yall.

Also while my car is down is it better to let the motor sit up with oil in it or drain it. The car will be down for about 3 months.

 

Rocket Robert Builds Great Trannys!!!!

 

Rocket Robert?

 

before you do ANYTHING, learn to drive.

NO tranny is gonna withstand the shock forces incured with wheelhop.

I didn't have a LSD when I went 13.2 in my SOHC.

 

I already stated that I was getting the z-10 traction bar to solve the wheel hop problem. I was getting wheel hop on street tires and slicks. Wheel hop has nothing to do with driving skills.

 

wanna bet???????

 

You might want to reconsider the Z-10 bars... you're better off going to jimfab.com

Your ignorant.

Please explain your thoery. Also need opinions on the Kaaz and quaife.

 

Sell the KAAZ, especially if you plan on drag racing. The KAAZ is a clutch type LSD, not a gear type. The clutch plates will either brake or wear out way too fast.

It's not the wheel hop that is breaking your diff, it's the POS Phantom Slip - Limited Grip. You're not the only one who has broken trannys with it.

If you have a choice between the Z10 and the Jim Fab unit. Use the Z10, but get one of the older units.

The Jim Fab unit was built using my ideas to change the pivot point, but Jim never discussed this with me, and built it on his own. I didn't tell him the whole story, and well, good luck with his bar.
