Lsd

[Little Beavis]

Does anyone have a how to or info on doing a LSD.
I've been debating about the Fugi vs. Quaife and still have NO clue as to whether I might be able to do this thing myself.

I know the Fugi or whatever it is (sorry) from the Mazdaspeed requires some other parts. What are they? I can't afford to have the car sitting around while I try to find the right parts.

Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. I know a few have done this, but I couldn't find any data that really said, here's how and here's what you need. I don't trust my dealership to answer these questions.

the Tochigi Fuji LSD is about $1100 parts AND labor at my dealer here in IL

Beavis....getting INSIDE your tranny to modify it will require some special tools....unless this is something you plan on doing a lot....you would be better off leaving the work to a professional tranny shop...or a dealer.

BEAVIS, i think pro 5, dave, did it himself, but he has the mazda speed lsd...try to pm him and he might be able to help you out...laters

 

[PaulMP3]

talk to pro 5 he just did the fugi himself. I had my dealer do it.

I think all you need are some shims in order to get the depth in refererence to something else.

 

[PRO 5]

Sup Beavis! Yeah, I took on the daunting task of doing it myself. I have to say, if you are going to do it yourself have the transmission portion of the service manual handy! I did it all with hand tools (like all of my projects) and an impact wrench. You do not need shims (well mine didn't) and new bearings for the LSD.

Here is the run down on cost:

LSD Bearings- $48.38 (2)
LSD- $569.86
Nut Locks- $36.59 (2)
Remove &
Press on Bearings $35.00

Total- $689.83


For more details shoot me a PM! Hope this helps!

Thanks everyone for the advice. . .
Pro 5, can you post the part numbers? That way if someone does a search they can find all the info. That is super cool that you did it all with hand tools and an impact wrench. I have all that! Sah-weet! (yippy) (rockon)

 

[Adam3482P]

Whoo Hooo lysergic acid diethylamide (hippy) . Oh s*** my bad I thought we was talking about Acid.

 

[APEXistud]

Thank god someone listed what parts are needed. I already shot him a PM about the part numbers.

 

[PaulMP3]

I could have gave anyone the part numbers, if they would have asked.

 

[igdrasil]

Hmm...
interesting

IS IT WORTH IT? Thats what matters.

 

[PaulMP3]

i will tell you for sure once im boosted, but i love it now even with out boost. my tires seem to be wearing a lot more even also. Without the awr motor mounts the LSD acts wierd, the car shakes like crazy when your spinning your tires.

 

[Little Beavis]

I did ask for part numbers. . .post them. . .that way everyone knows! Where dey at?

[PaulMP3]

thats from my dealer invoice, might want to check with pro5 on what he needed. My dealer had some problems with the install

 

[Little Beavis]

Thanks! (I remember your issues. . . sucked. . .also heard about them from Corksport. Is that $400 labor?

How about you Pro5?

 

[PaulMP3]

yea, plus i had to pay corksport 170. That was BS just because thats where Mazdaspeed recomened it was pressed.

 

[Kooldino]

What about the Quaife? I know tha Mazdamotorsports guys did that...
