Not necessarily, mine had virtually no wear. If it is worn, you can machine down the case or put in oversize washers ($30) to make up the difference.

On this note, I found a guy w/ a complete torsen w/ hubs on the axles locally!

the grass is always greener on the other side huh?

well i dropped mine off today well see when my new guy gets it done.

sweet, i just ordered my correct LSD from 915 Racing. Should be a 3.909 ratio, can't wait to throw it all together. Luckily I have a few local guys that can do my backlash....Y8s and Rappadan.

Going to be a nice season this year, im going to abuse the crap out of it.

Yeah, but the thing is, if you're going to take the entire thing apart, you might as well replace the washers and friction discs anyway.

hang on hang on... you want to swap the 3.9 into a 4.3 housing? that's a lot more work than just setting backlash by swapping meatball into your existing pinion housing.

I haven't done pinion depths and shit.

what's the whole housing you have now?

Braineack 02-12-2007 01:14 PM

yeah i thought about that as i did more research....I'm going to see if my other buddy can't do that as well or might just stick with the miata ring-gear and call it a day.

y8s 02-12-2007 01:31 PM

did that thing i uploaded have the pinion specs? I do have marking compound.

Braineack 02-12-2007 01:34 PM

yeah it shows how to set up both the pinon gear and ringgear.

dude that would be awesome to be able to confirm this. 80mph@ 3500rpm would be a dream come true once im putting down 220+rwhp

You would need 3.6 gear set to cruse at 80/3500. The 3.9's are at about 4000rpm at 80.

Akaryrye, this would be a good tool for you to use: http://www.precisionsite.com/auto-x/tools/

You are right, for free not a lot you can say about it.
I have been lucky in my cars, and most have had LSDs.
