Just broke my diff casing in half due to wheel hop from street tires (I usually run ET streets which absorb hop). I have had another differential in the attic along with a t2 LSD, a t2 LSD rebuild kit, new bearings, crush collar, driveshaft 300m axles, urethane bearings, etc...for the past five years.

A couple of questions: is it really necessary to rebuild the T2 LSD? I hear of a lot of guys just dropping them in and they work fine without rebuilding...thoughts?

If I drop in the T2 LSD, how many of you have had to shim it in order to achieve the correct gear pattern? My pinion gear will be untouched.

Is there anything else I need to know before disassembling everything? Is there a write up anywhere?? I did search for all of those who cry about people not searching...

Thanks,
John

 

No rebuild for me but I did have a shop shim and set it up.

 

this thread should help. i did like sk8world and had it installed and properly shimed by the gear shop.

i did not re-build the lsd, dropped it right in and it has been working just fine.
