there is actually a Tag at the filler plug that says "Lsd type fluid only" on the Lsd diff.
rotate one wheel the other one goes in the same direction. |
yeah i thought there would be
but there is a good chance it would peel off over the years. yeah i think mine may be open dont know y thay would bring a turbo sports car out with open diff |
Were the s4 lsd's only available on Turbo 2's or were they an option on any NA models?

this info is in the FAQ thread at the top of the New Tech section.
By the way the tag is aluminum,and is used as a crush washer to seal the filler plug. |

Oh that's good to know. I was hoping possibly not to have to deal with swapping transmission and driveshaft to get an LSD. Thanks for the response!
If you swap to a TII trans,then you need all the other stuff to make it work as it is just not a simple swap over. To correctly do it you need all the components from the back of the engine to the Rear of the car. From Flywheel to diff. Many threads on that. Some guys also are utilizing parts from both setups..like N/A Trans to TII diff..etc. So if you go that route we will let you get your fingers tappin,looking for the threads that are available on that subject. Good luck to ya. |
Beware s4 na gxl lsd clutch types have different internals than the turbo counter parts

they are also different physically in size. So any N/A LSD parts can't be swapped to a TII LSD. The N/A LSD guts will not fit in the Pumpkin.Vice versa. |
When I took apart a gxl lsd it went down smooth. Soo did the t2 one I did it was just a mission to get it to go back into the casing

You would get quicker and more accurate answers if you would state which car you have. Your profile only has "fc3s rx7", which helps, but it does not state whether the car has a turbo or non-turbo drivetrain. |

yes i have a weird nz turbo i have got a complete lsd but im not sure if my axles will fit it
|
every turbo2 did not come with a LSD diff.. only US version ones did .. in oz and NZ and many other places you had to specify
same with the NA vehicles.. in the aus market the NA diff is also open unless specified .. or unless originally an auto ( check the sales spec sheets in aus if you like... auto NA is the ONLY aus market car that comes with factory spec LSD without needing to tick a box ) |

* Synthetic means Group IV (PAO) and/or Group V (Ester) base stock. Group III (hydrocracked) base stock is not real synthetic oil. |

i can order oil online so sae 90 i think royal purple is ment to be good il have a look thanx for your help
|
I think Royal purple also has a LSD additive that you can get to add with the Gear oil..real small bottle of the stuff.
If you add it to your Diff it helps a lot. |
