Identify this LSD: KAAZ?
I bought this LSD off an HT member, and he thought it was an OEM Honda piece.
It was kinda banged-up, so I have taken it apart to find out that it contains "clutch packs" or friction discs. It has 12 in total. I looked at the KAAZ website and it appears to be a KAAZ LSD.
Can anyone with experience wih KAAZ tell me whether or not it is made by them?
I can't find any markings on it. edit: the large piece that the ring gear attaches to has 96C4 stamped into it.
Thanks.

Re: (mrbsponge)
well now I am not too sure if it is indeed a KAAZ LSD. I am now kind of thnking it is a Cusco LSD.
mrbsponge, you are saying that you know the shape of KAAZ clutch discs and it appears to be a KAAZ?
The shape of the clutch plates is the key to figuring out who made it. The discs with 'tabs' on the outside feature 6 'tabs.' It looks like KAAZ pieces may have more than that, just going off the drawings on their website.
Cusco appears to have 6 tabs on theirs, but the outer rim is not 'flat' like mine, but instead has some wavy-ness to it.
Can anyone help? I need to get an overhaul kit and get this diff rebuilt with new discs and cone springs so I can get my CRX rollin'!
Thanks.

Re: (KFBhonda)
call kaaz and tell them what you bought at the same time email them the picture and see what they say.

I was in contact via email last night with a tech at Cusco in Japan and it is the patented 1-way Cusco LSD.
Has anyone ever rebuilt/overhauled a Cusco LSD and/or knows where to get the parts?
Thanks for the replies.
