i have a friend and he just got his gsr tranny with a i guess a stock lsd. we were told that it needs gear oil. is this true. if so what weight, 75-80, 80-90. any suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks, Travis

 

GSR's don't come with an LSD stock. If that one has one in it then It's been put in afterwards. If it needs oil then use Honda MTF, Redline MTF, or some 30 weight (ghetto imho).

 

i think its 75 - 90. i used redline mtl and it's gl-4 spec. i dunno about lsd equipped trannie's though, should be the same.

 

Some JDM GSR's come with LSD. I use Honda MTF with a Quaife LSD, works fine for me.

 

use only honda MTF for stock or gear type LSDs. gear oil is way to heavy.
use mineral type 30-40 weight oil ( no need for synthetics).

KAAZ or other clutch type LSD will require their oil (ie. kaaz oil)

 

SiR and SiG JDM of course came with lsds

 

a few questions... who told you you need gear oil? the previous owner or a mechanic... if i'm correct in guessing... you're hearing a crunching noise and you think it's wierd? if so... you won the lottery and got a Kaaz LSD in there... get Kaaz tranny fluid, or else you risk damaging the Kaaz. if you just need fluid in the tranny... go with the Redline MTF 75w90 GL-4... works well w. B-Series trannies... more info on the LSD would help alot...

i guess a crunching noise. it makes a poping sound, you can hear the tires like barking on pavement when you turn sharp. two people told me that but they are not the most reliable. anyway we have bigger fish to fry. the motor is making a funny noise almost like it hasen't had a valve adj. in 50,000 miles. not sure going to look at it this weekend. thanks for the input everyone, its been helpful.
