Nic Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Interesting. Im doin mine in Feb/March so trying to get it right first time. which oil did you use? does it need an aditive? TRD recommend only to use their own diff oil (as they would I guess). Chris Wilson has fitted a few TRD LSD's, so may be worth checking with him. If you need the TRD oil give me a shout.

Chris Wilson Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 does that not mean its mis adjusted and the oil is masking the issue? No it's an oil issue. Even Chrysler and GM have had noise issues with their plate type LSD's and have used additives. That's why so many manufacturers of toad cars went to the quiet, but much less effective, gear type LSD's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suprattgaz Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Any special tools needed to fit this? I have just got one and am thinking of fitting it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I can't find where it says how to check the oil level in the diff. Have I missed it somewhere? There are two plugs one at the back I think for draining it and one at the front higher up for filling. It doesn't seem to fill it very high though?? Is it just a case of topping it up until it spills out on a level surface? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Yes, get oil level with bottom of filler hole. Use correct plate type LSD oil ONLY, in the TRD LSD or you'll ruin it very very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I don't even know what LSD is fitted to mine. I have another thread about that. I am going to swap out the oil in my diff to see if it makes any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
