So when you spin the tires does one spin the other way, or both in the same direction?

I'm bettin' they're spinning in the same direction, or he'd be spinning like a top! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif Hard to believe it isn't a limited slip diff though.

just be careful when you go get an s4 lsd because the clutch types wear out.

dude i say if your gonna put another diff in the car save up and buy an aftermarket performance diff or a new factory diff. buying a used one you never know the condition its in or how long its gonna last you.



like i always say if it breaks upgrade it!

I've never heard of any aftermarket diff. for the FC. Vosko, how much you want for the GTUs LSD?

vosko 06-28-2002 02:23 PM

$300 + shipping. its a complete drop in. it has fresh redline gear oil in it too

OKIERX-7 06-28-2002 02:45 PM

With an open diff the other wheel would spin the opposite direction.

I'm not too sure what breaks in the lsd unit, but that may be you problem.



Clutchpacks/sycnrhos wear out or the sleeves break on them usually. I've see a fractured carrier but that was SERIOUS abuse.



Not even real sure what type of system the Mazda uses, guess I'll have to go look...

i could be wrong but I could've SWORE that I had that option. Then again it may explain the problem.



Maybe it's time to hit the salvage yard... S4 GTU's had LSD's right?

A S4 GXL should have LSD, as well as the GTU and sport models.
