speeder Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 I have an R200 with Nismo clutch -type LSD in my '77 Z that has started acting like a welded diff at low speeds. When turning there seems to be no differential action - tires making noise. The LSD has been in for about 3000 miles - The condition seems to be worsening. I use Redline lube with a limited slip additive... Wrong stuff? Or maybe an adjustment of breakaway torque needed? I'm really out of my depth when working with gears - Expertise, Please.

johnc Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 Here's some info: http://www.gordon-glasgow.org/lsd1.asp Drain the fluid and inspect it for metal debris. If you don't see any them maybe you just need to reduce the breakaway torque. The standard number is 45 ft. lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeder Posted December 25, 2002 Author Share Posted December 25, 2002 Great Info! Thinner friction discs from a forgotten box of spares lessened the breakaway force from ~ 100ft/lb to 50 or so. All OK now. Another example of how things get "de-mystified" once you jump in and do it. Thanks john. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
