Hey i recently bought a Limited Slip Diff Centre with 3.36 ratio... Just wanted to know whats next i know i can recondition the LSD and check the Backlash etc..

But would i need different axles or can i just pull the old ones out and insert diff center and insert the axles in....

Seals????

Info on this would be excellent
Cheers
Jason

Axles.... depends on whether yours are coarse spline or fine spline and also what the diff centre is (coarse or fine spline).

Chances are its a coarse spline so if it is it will go straight in. Just pull out one axle and see if it slips into your lsd centre

I would change the axle bearings and seals while your there, don't forget you need LSD oil

Yes and give the housing a good clean out while it's all apart.

i bought mine for $650 off of ebay...at Buy It Now...i could of bidded for it at $450 but i couldnt take that chance....

I also seen one in Sydney pick up only with 3.55 starting bid at $150 where it finished up at around $800...

So i am glad that i bought mine for $650.. my mates are saying "you got ripped off" to me but how rare is a LSD Diff to fit my torana...The seller was telling me that he had it in a LJ and he had heaps of fun with it...

Surely you would think somebody would realise there's a market for banjo LSD bits and start making them.

Ive scored a 2.78 LSD centre and have spent the arvo changing the 3.55 open centre diff that was in it.
The car originally had a 2.78 LSD in it but it broke, so i threw the 3.55 in it.

Funny thing is the drivers side axle just seems to sit out a little bit too far? The axle is definently in, it turns the centre/tailshaft. I ended up giving up and having a cold beer instead! Ive changed plenty of diffs and axles before and never had this drama. Any reason why it would be doing this?

Some broken piece stuck in the diff centre?

Nope, centre was all good and checked when i bolted it in. Even shone the torch down the tube when this drama started occuring and there is nothing there.

Its like the axle needs to go in another 1/2 inch if that. Its got me baffled... ive changed plenty of centres and axles in this car over the years and its been basic and straight foward! The axles are coarse spline, as is the centre. I have the actual axles that were in the diff that the new centre came out of wrapped up under the house somewhere, might have to dig them out and try to get them to fit i think!

Hi, i am 99.9 % sure i know the answer onto your problem, one of the splines inside the limited slip are'nt lined up. If you can hold one wheel so i cant spin & with the axle that won't go in try & turn it by hand slowly & if will eventually slide in about a inch or so.
