Theres a way to check it with a torque wrench and jacking up one wheel leaving the other on the grounf, but I dont remember the method, sorry.

Doesn't running some good oil in your diff restore lost LSD?



I did a reverse burnout on my moms driveway the other day (stupid) and it left some good tire marks with a ton of wheel hop near the end. Maybe I'll post a pic to illustrate.

Im gonna have 2 agree with u. I change mine every month cuz ma pinion seal is bad. I went the the dealer and bought one for like 5 bux but i've been soooooo lazy that it is still in my driver side rear cubby. Btw...how much should a clutch installation cost if i supply parts?(all 5), and how often should a flywheel be resurfaced? I had it done this year already and i'm puttin in a new clutch and im wonderin if it just has to be rotated. I really wanna do it myself but.....i got chili on my clutch section of my haynes.....damn! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/dry.png

Thats a top link, I've downloaded and printed that workshop manual. Saved myself $145(AUD).
