i got a s5 vert and i also got a s4 t2 with no engine or trans will the lsd outta the t2 bolt up to the s5... ive herd u gotta have a driveshaft made to fit it im wantin a lsd and just seeing if i can use what i got????

 

fc gurus where you at?

 

Yes it will bolt right up as long as you use the half shafts also. You can have holes drilled in the flange to fit the n/a driveshaft or you can get a custom driveshaft. Or you can say to hell with it and put in a TII transmission and all that goes with it.

 

No, it won't just bolt up. The driveshaft flange is not the same as on an NA diff. You would need a custom driveshaft with an NA yoke & a TII diff flange. Mazdatrix offers them, but you have to call for details.

Drilling out the holes on the NA diff flange is a great way to get an unbalanced setup.

 

well i got a driveshaft from mazdatrix it should go in this week i also got some derlin diff bushings

 

Which driveshaft did you get?

Also, if you bought a used S4 LSD, the clutch plates are probably worn out. So if you drive it and feel little if any LSD function, that is why. The rebuild parts are about $700.

 

I'm in a similar delima. I have access to a S4 TII diff. I have heard that you can change the the pinion flange for the driveshaft. Is this true?

 

I customized a n/a driveshaft to fit my t2 rear end. Didnt take long at all with a hacksaw and die grinder.
