Hi

I've a rear VLSD diff from a Sierra cosworth 4x4, but it's old, and works like an open diff....So I want to change the Viscous silicone...
I don't have the money to send it to England an get a professional rebuilt(I'm a student ). So I want to try to rebuilt it at home as I only have 120-130bhp on my sierra and not need a very tight diff

could you recomend me a website where I can buy this?

could be useful the silicone that RC cars use on their diffs?
thanks

 

I will use RC diff silicone oil with 500.000cps of viscosity...I will try it next mont...Then I will write here the results

 

just weld the diff up

 

I like how it goes, is good

LSD with RC diff silicone 500.000cps:

But now, the diff is out the car, because I did some in a bad way...and probably a bolt inside the diff broke, and the case crashed...I have to dismount it in a weekend and check what happened



I use my car every day...so I think is not the best option for me , but it has to be good on track for drift

 

Do you have any pics of how you changed the silicone fluid? very interested. Bad news about the failure.

 

Also where did you buy it? eBay?

 

found this on ebay; http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_t...All-Categories

 

I only have this pics:





I dismounted it, cleaned all discs, and remount using this silicone.


I don't know which is the correct viscosity...I only tried with 500.000 CPS

I bought it on this shop of my country 3 bottles, used 2 and a half

cool, might have a go mate

 

500.000 dont be good

not more heavy than the OE.

you must more. 1 millions centistocke to have 60mkg to the diff

 

Ok thanks. I will have it in mind if I've to dismount the diff again. Do you know where can I buy the silicone oil of more than 1 millon cps you say?

 

how do you adjust the side bearing preload?also i have used 100000 two bottles and one 300000 with good results,don't tight very much the viscous because the planet gears are not too strong!so don't use up to 300000 silicone oil
