Did any one the 2nd gen rx7's come with a clutch type limited slip diff, just wondering cuz i heard someone say that you can just swap the viscous and get a clutch type, than just rebuilt it....is any of this true...?

 

The s4 t2 had a clutch type lsd i believe.

 

would i be able to swap that into an s4 n/a drivetrain by any chance, or is the ring and pinion setup completely different..?

 

You need to swap the entire drivetrain. I think you can use the axels you have though.

 

hey man does that mean i have a clutch type lsd ?????i have a 88gtu .

 

I believe the s4 used the clutch type and s5 used the viscous. The gtu, gxl and turbo models all came with the lsd standard for the '88 s4 rx7's.

 

how can you overhaul the clutch type LSd mines is totally gone my wheels dont even lock up they go opposite directions.......can it also be that my clutch is burnned out that my lsd might noe work?? ???

 

u buy new clutch disc and cones and u put it on

 

the s4 gxl and gtu (both n/a) came with clutch type lsd, which you can swap into your current drivetrain.

 

nice you think mazda trixx ?? has em ???

 

you too noob to know what to do with them even if you bought them.

 

im not that noob lol probly a little but **** that

 

Stock LSD's suck donkey *****.
Get a Turbo II rear end.
Get an FD stock Torsen.
Call it a day.

thought an upgrade for fd owners was an s4 lsd?

 

i do wanna go sideways soo i wanna get it ready for autox

 

ohhh

 

They think it is.
I could never understand that logic.

The FD Torsen is a much more finesse unit, but it has a lot better locking characteristics (i.e. linear) than a clutch-type.
I think the drag racers want the FC stock clutch-type LSD cause it's a little bit more robust.
I don't understand why they just don't buy an aftermarket clutch-type LSD, since it's a lot stronger.

These FD owners always baffle me...

And now for the question of the day. Can the Torsen LSD swap right in with no modifications to my 88 TII rear end?

 

The FD LSD fits the T2 rear ends.

Since when has autox and drifting been the same? Autox is a traction sport my friend.

 

gotta love them... now if i could get one of them to trade me their torsen for my 100k miles s4 t2 lsd...

 

my lsd in my s4 gxl is great... although before my 88 gxl i was driving an almost completely stock accord. kind of a big switch up.
