Lsd?

getteg · Post by **getteg** » Tue Apr 01, 2008 1:15 am

Question will LSD jsut go right into my GSR tranny with no mods? If mods are needed what needs to be done? Below are pics of what I am hopefully getting in the next few weeks and I just want to make sure there wont be a ton of other things I need to do/get to get this to go in. Any help is appriciated. Also am I going to need that case?

Thanks
Brian

Yes its the OEM unit out of an ITR tranny. The guy wants 325.00 What is so bad about the OEM and how much can I pick up an obx for?

Thanks
Brian

I've heard things about the OBX LSD, and if it works as well as the Quaife it's a steal....

Just "rebuild" the obx before you put it in. I've never had issues with mine.

ITR / GSR casing should be the same. You may need a shim to get the proper clearance between the casing and the lsd carrier bearings (I was fine re-using the stock one on my ls tranny). I don't know about the ring gear...... 4.4 to 4.4 should work. If its a 4.7x you will need the counter shaft from the 4.7 tranny.

Yep! The OBX units normally have alot of metal shavings, burrs, etc, that needs cleaned up and everything retorqued before install but if gone over properly it should hold up rather well.

So if I got a brand new obx it would need to be rebuilt before I install it, or is that only if I get a used one.

Thanks for the help everyone

yes, but you dont have to. it only takes about 5 minutes though.

transzex has installed over 30 obx lsd's and never fieldstripped them and has never had any complaints.
