CLunking after SHImmed LSD
I am about to drop the rear end again to find out what is going on with the s4 clutch type lsd that i shimmed using aluminum shims. After taking to the track for a drift event, im experiencing a slight clunk when shifting gears or as i relieve load and get back on the throttle. its a mild clunk but i feel like it needs attention before i damage the insides to the point where i cant rebuild it. any pointers would help, and if all else fails..... welded T2 diff.

If you put to many shims in it, it might be 100% locked like a welded diff would be. Too much preload causes the clutches to lock all the time.
If that is the case, it probably isnt the diff clunking at all. When the diff is permanently locked the stress goes elsewhere. I've seen(on an s13) semi new bushings that looked like they had 15 years of abuse put on them After a few months! Hahaha
