forgot how to test if the box has a lsd, i had a ib5 box installed the other week and asked them to include the lsd in the ib5 box

is there a way of testing with both wheels jacked up and turning one and the other side turns aswell

i engaged 1st gear, jacked up, and turned the passengers side wheel and the drivers side did turn aswell, but not in netruel,

have i been ripped off?

 

Wheels should turn in opposite directions

 

wheels should turn in same direction in neutral, they turn in oppostie directions wen its a slip diff! Just looked on another site to confirm this!!

 

And cuvner ~ LSD stands for ?? As the title says LSD test.

 

bit confused
lsd(limited slip)- wheels turn same direction
normal dif-opposite wheel slips but will turn in opposite direction?

 

same here

my rs box gave up (deffo lsd) they go same way when in nuetral

i fitted a xr2 box in its place and they go opposite ways


if u do have a shaft out then u look thru the diff and if u see a hole its non lsd, if u see a shaft running across the hole then its lsd

 

the other wheel didnt even move in nuetral!!

 

hmm simons box did that on his 1.3 but was cos shaft was fooked





it drive nice? or pull u about over the rd?


could do a smokey rolling burnout and see if both wheels lay a slug

 

it drives ok, think it needs a cv joint on the drivers side, but everything else is new!

it does pull to the side when the boost spikes! though, but it always done that!

in 1st gear the other wheel went in the opposite direction

 

ohh dear

i dunno then



got any pics of the instalation??

 

na no pics. gearbox centre in caister done it, he say that he would put the lsd in, but im doubtfull

 

lsd means limeted slip differential

 

enlightened us all now

 

PMSL

 

just pull the shaft out the box and have a look at the diff then you'll defo know

 

In neutral mine rotate the same way, in gear opposite ways.

A torque biasing diff may not rotate the other wheel in neutral as it relies upon torque (obviously)

 

oh right, havent got the time to pull the shafts out, so do it looks like i have one before i go there and kick off!

 

yep - at a guess

 

cheers mate, im sure something will break soon, so next time im under the car, ill pull the shafts out and confirm

 

Thats positive thinking for you

 

You all sound so confusing with the opposite/same rotation discussion. Just jack up one wheel and select neutral. Then rotate the wheel. You cna deffo feel the difference. With a normal diff you can give the wheel more and more speed whereas with a LSD you can only rotate it very slowly at ~3s per revolution max.
