TRD LSD

[Tom86]

Hi guys,

Anyone here rebuilt a TRD LSD before? you know where I can get a rebuit kit or it any idea how much they cost?

I think my is worn as it only spin one wheel when I put my 15s on http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/angry.gif . It works fine when I use the 13s with crappy tyres. I think the 15s might have too much grip for it.

get a quote from toyota to get a ruff idea on price

change the diff oil, it might just be too thin or old.. some nice and thick Penrite 10ths competition LSD oil is awsome stuff.. let me know how it works.. if not are you in brisbane?

I'm using redline at the moment i don't think its the oil cos its only about 1 month old. I think its the secondhand LSD.

No I'm in Perth.

Regardless of what tyres and how grippy they are, the lsd should not open wheel.

Sounds like you need a rebuild.

I know that T3 sell a rebuild kit?

does LSD wears out alot from normal driving? i had it on the car for about 1500 kms now the first few hundreds it seem to be pretty tight you can feel it when turning etc.

I wonder how long it would last if I rebuit mine, cos I spend about 90% of the time driving normally and only about 10% doing stuff like trying to drift or donuts etc.

i have a trd lsd
has been rebuilt a few yrs ago
since rebuild prolly has done bout 30000 kms
still tighter than a nuns proverbial skips all the time
i pretend to drive normally for 90% of the time and hard for 10% but i am mad and the numbers are reversed ps i think my neighbours hate me ...damn hoon......

it does depend on the oil.. different oil will make the TRD unit behave differently.. i used to run some lim slip penrite stuff in there.. (recomended by a mate who has a falcoon with an LSD) and it was an LSD, but i just had it rebuilt (had a few axles and crownwheels let go on me with a GZE in there http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/smile.gif ) and didn't feel as tight as it used to.. so i changed oil.. to this penrite 10ths competition oil.. and now it cherps and chatters in slick concrete carparks (only under a tiny bit of load) so it's not like a locker, but you notice the difference. feels like it snaps harder to oversteer, and carries it longer.. http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/smile.gif
