useable diff condition or not?
i have been offered a lsd diff and the person has sent me a few pics through of the internals. i would like to know if the diff is ok or not pics and his email are below......
Thanks! "Initially I was encouraged as the internals looked very tidy. However, after I turned the driveshafts through 180° I could see surface corrosion on the outside edge of the crown wheel and spots on the pinion gears. I can only assume this aligns with the breather where it has been sat. The diff turns over without problem. I wouldn't expect this to be a problem (I would hope the increased surface texture roughness would retain an oil film better) " Last edited by dan_g8 : 13th July 2010 at 09:20 PM. |

That ain't no LSD it's just a normal open diff and not worth much. DONT pay LSD prices Either seller dont know his a8$e from his elbow or he's rippin' you off.

Well, assuming my diff is an LSD (and I have no reason to currently doubt it) that test works. No way I could hold either output shaft whilst turning the input shaft

My diff from a Granada Cosworth is LSD and I cannot turn the input shaft without both outputs turning, even if I try to hold one output still. It doesn't look like a LSD to me either, if I get time today I'll pull the rear cover off mine and photo it.

thanks for the replys guys, think ill trust that it is an lsd. Do you think that the rust will be a problem?

HI, it looks like a viscous lsd to me, the giveaways being the plate between the crownwheel and the crownwheel carrier,
and its a 3.62 according to the writing on the crownwheel which is also an lsd ratio and normally go for good money. as for the rust you dont want any pitting on the gears as they will wear quickly what the guy says about holding oil is total b****cks! if it cleans up ok all well and good if not it wont last long. out of interest is this for a track car as general concencus is you dont need one for the road.

Light surface rust should be no problem.
Turning 1 output on an LSD should turn the other the same way |
