Yes I am very familiar with the ring and pinion setup, and in this case, I will be reusing the the ring and pinion so i will not change pinion depth. What is the purpose of this procedure ? I thought with a LSD there is supposed to be some drag ?

I will be getting my used OEM LSD soon, so I will be working on it. Since this will be my first time working on such a diff, I have several questions. 1. I heard some people mentioning about removing the side shims installed by the factory that goes between carrier and side gear. Is this a must...

So I ordered some parts through my toyota dealer a few months ago and just got them today. The parts prices were cheap, so I bought them. They are: 48725-14010 x 2 48725-14020 x 2 The cost was roughly 21 USD a bushing. So I payed and waited 3 months. Then last month I was contacted by the...

Update. Considering how much trouble I have with my diff and with the front bearing shell being somewhat loose in the housing. I decide to buy this diff from a japan auction. Regardless if my current diff turns out ok over the long run. https://yahoo.aleado.com/lot?auctionID=u1094174645 It costs...

No its still Weir Eliminator with shims. Yes I have a holding tool which i made last year. Ok here is the full rundown. I got my impact and proceed to impact the hell out of that nut, and it wont budge. So I removed the diff. Checked the preload, it was basically almost 0 preload. With the diff...

I bought a air impact and will receive it soon. I am gonna tighten up the pinion nut 1/16th to 1/12 th of turn to crank up the preload. I looked at my notes between the 3rd rebuild and compare to the 4th and 5th rebuild, one major difference is the pinion preload. It was very high on the 3rd...

Just tested the car. The good. All low speed grinding noises are gone. I have not tested for a very long distance .Now the not so good, as soon as i reach 60mkh and went up to 66kmh, there is same type of whine as the previous (4th) rebuild with the used gears, but 1/5th the loudness. It is a...

It thought so at first, but at higher preload it was doing the same thing. I think I might have damaged some rollers while pressing in the pinion to the companion flange the first time. After I changed to another set of new bearings and very carefully installed them, no more clicking sounds...

I pulled the pinion shim of 1.94mm and changed to 1.90mm. It looks better to me especially on the coast. The drive looks almost the same,. On the coast its a bit more spread out Pinion at 1.90mm I am leaning towards 1.90mm pinion shim. One additional problem appeared. It seems I probably...

From RHD Japan always. I just checked the runout, it seems its still there, I think maybe the casing is the problem. Anyway. I got a backlash reading I then checked gear pattern. Left pic is previous pattern, right side new gears, both are with 1.94mm shim Close up of new drive pattern Coast...

I didnt mean to post anything till I get my gear pattern, but something came up..as always. I received my gears today, and to my horror, there are two chipped areas on the pinion tooth. However I think this wont affect the pinions function or cause noise, notice the red lines i drew, they are...

Frankly, I can't tell thats anything wrong with it, just like the second rebuild. But there are bits of metal on the ring gear surface as well as the pinion. On pinion there are some gasket material I sanded off the diff case and some metal bits

Thanks dave, but I am pretty sure preload is not too high. I was very careful not to exceed the preload I set in the 3rd rebuild. In the 4th rebuild, the breakaway wasn't that much higher than rotating. I will be equally careful on this 5th rebuild.

Update, after roughly 700 km with no improvement and a lot of metal in the oil, I pulled the diff apart and decide to rebuild with new gears. My new gears are coming tomorrow. I pulled the diff off the car on Saturday the 8th of July. I removed the ring gear and did a runout check on the...

So I was looking at the mk4 subframe and how the diff is secured, and found that it is very similar to BMW way of doing things. On the Mk4, there are two horizontal bushings that go on the diff that attach to the subframe. This allows the diff to move up and down a little . The Prop shaft also...

Update, it's a week later, drove 35km to work and 35 km back Diff casing temp was 152 F. , and some short distances on the next day 5km to 15km . The noise has gone down in some conditions and went up in some. The whine/groan at 59kmh onwards is still there, but the high level of groan goes down...

Yes I hope so. I went for another drive which is a bit longer. 10km + 10km to the city center. parked and returned. It was a large highway so had to go at least 80kmh for 1km. The noise was loud at 59 kmh and kept getting louder and louder till 77 kmh, then after that to 80kmh, almost no sound...

I got my used prop shaft and installed it with the diff. Just went for a test drive. A 7km trip to breakfast and 7km back home. There is a small amount of noticable noise. It is mostly on light acceleration over 35kmh. Its like a hum /whine. on decel at 60 to 20kmh its hardly makes any noise I...
