sideloader lsd diff rebuild?

Post by marc79euro645 »

I need to rebuild my sideloader lsd diff. I'd like to get more lock up. Anyone have experience with this? I'm thinking I can shim it for more initial break away torque, but I'm unsure how much to shim it. any help appreciated!

go to diffsonline.com

Those guys will have the correct parts and probably tell you how to do it.

Thanks Jeff, I bought the seals and 3 clutch plate sets, using porsche dogear plates. I'm going to go with factory spec(0.2mm) on clearance with the extra plates installed. I'm considering more ramp angle on acceleration ramp(maybe go 30*) for more drive locking.
