Where you guys find lsd's at?

and I think RRE also sells them.

LSD will still break if launched wrong. look up 1gs and 2g blowing welded center diffs and rear diffs on dumped launches. gotta slip it esp at the track where it has so much more grip than the street.

[Stewi]

Yes and no. With a true helical gear LSD like the Quaife, if you dump it, you wont break the diff itself, if the shock is too great, it will end up cracking the bell housing, case or breaking the input shaft or wrecking the shaft bearing. Good advice though, you always wanna slip it. So in short, you may not break the diff if you dump it, but you will break something else, so dont dump it.

Thanks way too much money though. If it was half the price yes.

[Isaurio]

Good to know.

Thats what they cost though. The quaife runs about $975 or so and the WaveTrac about the same price. Both have a lifetime warranty.

I see that obx makes some cheapo ones for the evo but i dont think their lsd works with the F5M42? I seen a quife lsd for a 3g eclipse on ebay for 8XX cant remember which tranny though but thats a decent price for what the cite had listed.

[Stewi]

The 3g LSD's are the same for V6 and I4. I know this for a fact because I have held them next to each other, plus the quaife in Roman's car was formerly in FrankMB's car which was a V6 which is now Craig's car (Fatal1).

OBX Also makes a 3g one, I think you have to special order it, I think for the cost of the OBX unit and the potential consequences of it going bad, its worth it to invest in a good LSD like quaife or wavetrac. When the LSD goes bad, it destroys the tranny, you need to replace the whole tranny if it blows up. The 2g eclipse FWD and 3g Eclipse diff are the same, except they spin the opposite way. For example, if you found a Kaaz LSD for a 2g GST, you could open it up, reverse the clutch packs, put it back together and it will work in a 3g. You can only do it with Kaaz because its a clutch pack type, with a Wavetrac or Quaife you cant because of the gears.

Thanks for the great info! i wouldnt risk swapping in a obx lsd unless i had a spare tranny which are hard to find right now. Having a lsd will defiantly be an objective if i keep on with my power/racing goals.

[galant1983]

correct, unless your running slicks, no burnout, and if you are running slicks on an open diff, dont do that either : )
