to add insult to injury i just drained the oil and its a silvery colour,
hey,
i've recently installed a T series diff with TRD 2-way,
been driving around for a week or so, it has excessive backlash and is pretty whiney 60km/h+
but i've only just noticed a racheting crunching sound on light throttle turns and slow turns,
could this be because of the backlash.......or the LSD's fucked???
to add insult to injury i just drained the oil and its a silvery colour,
silver oil is no good! Has the sump got a magnetic oil plug?
Maybe get a diff specialist to look at how its setup. May need to have the pinion shimmed or de-shimmed etc.

yeah hopefully the clutches aren't rooted,
if the oil is coming out metallic, i'd be looking at the crown wheel & pinion for excessive wear, or the bearings.
is the T series diff housing and axles a factory LSD model cause it has been said that the open diff axles are too long by about 5mm and need to be cut down when running a LSD.
the noise and silver shit in the oil could be the axles contacting something inside
worth checking i think
how old is the lsd?
I would seriously be going back and asking whoever installed the lsd for you whether they checked it beforehand, how much did you pay ?, if it didn`t make a noise before you had it installed they obviously fuked up so just take it back.
ok it was a s2 t-18 diff i got of someone,
the he hadn't driven it too much and the crown wheel and pinion was already a bit worn,
i'm gonna pull it out next weekend and have a look see,
