is a lsd noisy ?

[fr0st]

when i installed my AWR mounts, front and rear, i went to try it out when i cornered hard neough and floored it , i ended spinning one wheel from the body weight shifting to a side.. then i would hear the LSD working.. but it didn'"t do that before i got the mounts..

should i assume the the rigid mounts will be more noisy as well as vibrate more?

o yea when I installed mine the tranny got real noise with a whine

after i installed my welded LSD i noticed it got louder at higher rpms. it might not be perfectly balanced but the welds are nice and even.

i installed a filled front mount and under hard acceleration from a stop,
i hear what appears to be grinding, when i wouldnt hear it before.
i dont know if its the lsd or not, but i know i couldnt get off the line before
like i can now.

 

[fr0st]

yeah exactly.. that thing launches like a mofo now.. and i do hear the tranny whine alot more..

but in tight corners, i can hear grinding/whining when one wheel spins..

Oh great! Louder...but no vibration though?

 

[exNeon]

well, i guess that means yes is the answer.

if you have awr mounts on there will be vibration

i got TONS

 

[Jaysanooch]

nah sorry...I meant is there tranny vibrations with welded lsd?

I'm aware of awr's motor mount trade mark vibrations.

you'll get lots more vibrations with stiffer mounts;
esp. during the cold, the urethane becomes much harder when it's cold.

i love 'em!
faster launches, no lurching, and quicker shifts!

right

 

[ChopstickHero]

yes, very whiney, especially at lower speeds.

 

[SeR_Cyclops]

i wonder why it made it louder? i can see if the welds were uneven but then it would eat the berrings like nothing, it wouldnt take long for them to be shot. so if the welds are even why does it still louder?

no lurching, and quicker shifts!

Easily the best and most over-looked aspect about stiffer mounts. Shifting is soooooo much better, and the car doesn't rock to-and-fro with the engine movement.

there isn't supposed to be any noise with the LSD
