IdahoZ Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 I am thinking about putting a CLSD in my 240z behind a 400SBC and T-56. When I call the local junkyards and ask them if they have a differential out of a 4/87 - 89 300 ZXT, they ask me if I want the locking or non-locking one. What is the difference?

Savage42 Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 That's how the list them as either non-locking (open) and locking (limited slip). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdahoZ Posted October 8, 2005 Author Share Posted October 8, 2005 So I want to ask for a "Locking" differential. Got it. If I find one, I understand from past posts that I will need to rebuild it. Is that correct? Is this something that can be done by a home mechanic or do I need to take it to a proffessional? I'm not afraid of trying if I have really good instructions. ow much does this usually cost to have done? Maybe I would be better off buying one that has already been rebuilt? Thanks.

JMortensen Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 You don't necessarily need to rebuild the diff or the LSD. I would suggest you install it and run it and see if it has any bearing noises or spins one tire. If so then rebuild. Bearings are expensive, so I wouldn't replace them unless they need it.
