so i have a s4 t2 chassie with a with an s5 na engine and trans thats how it was when i got it. now i realize that just doing a burnout is not going to tell me wether or not its lsd. i had the car on a jack today the metal tag was on the rear but i couldnt read it. i did however spin the tire and they both spun the same direction just not at the same rate and had aanother set of hands hold the other side and it stopped.

i did read alot of other post sorry to raise the question again. but i also wanted to know if anyone knew the distance between bolts on the t2 rear so i could measure mine thanks for your time.

 

I have some good Weed....uh what was the question?

TII cars came with a LSD..if the tag is there then it is LSD..no normal diff has a tag.

 

ill just say puff puff pass and thanks u answered it

 

Do i have LSD?

Are you tripping ***** ?

 

Fixed.

 

I just wanted to know if my rear was a limited slip diff

 

dunno about yer rear..(not into that..sorry!)
the Differential though is a Limited slip Differential if it has the tag.

Of course you know that we are having a little fun on this thread..right? (all in fun,with question answered too!)

..you should see what happens when some asks about whether a Heavy **** will help shifting!!!!!

 

It should be pretty easy to tell if you have one just by doing a burnout. If the right tire lights up, you don't. If both spin, you do. If the rear end in the car is a TII, either S4 or S5, it's a limited slip. If it's an S4 rear end, it isn't if it's a base model (SE in '88) but is if it wasn't a base model. If it's an S5 n/a, it's not a limited slip. If it's an S4 limited slip, it's a friction style. If it's an S5, it's a viscous.

 

You have a sense of humor. You'll fit right in.

Yes, you have a limited slip differential for sure, if that's what you meant.

 

this just makes me love the rx7 community that much more. according to my vin i have an s4 t2 chassie i got the t2 hood but the engine and trans is a s5 planing on swaping it back just trying to figure out which diff is in it thank for the info and the laughs.

oh n misterstix my rear never slips.

 

i was also wondering since the diff has some age to it can i buy new clutches to rebuild it ans is it worth it to rebuild or should i try finding an s5 t2 diff

 

Have you done any rear end work before? Do you have the appropriate tools? You'll need a dial indicator to set backlash, large (7-8") micrometer to set bearing pre-load, torque wrench and of course a shop manual. If you don't have the experience or the appropriate tools, than I would suggest taking it to a shop.

 

No havent done to much work on differentials but iv been out of town all week when i got home i noticed a small puddle of oil under the rear and it seems to be coming from the pinion seal im hoping i can just pull the center nut and washer and just swap out the seal

 

Ya,that is a good plan.
I had a diff or 2 with the same thing happen.,
One I replaced a front bearing on,the other one I just replaced the seal on.

 

rev it to 7krpm, dump the clutch, check the tire marks.

 

^ This. It's the reason I haven't opened the one I have sitting in the garage. Some things are good to have a pro nearby to teach the first time. Well, I'm more talking about assembly.

You can use the shop manual to measure the disks to see what you need, but assembly I'd leave to a pro.

 

Hah

 

Realistically, it's "rev to 7k, dump the clutch, replace transmission".

 

^ and this why i didnt want to go that route also iv read a open can still do a burn out with both wheels
