hey guys i currently just bought a second fto for parts and needed to change the gearbox in it did all that and put it back together and everything is working fine.
but one problem i have shown this LSD to professionals and apparently it is a mechanical locking LSD and my whole steering jolts and make a huge banging noise but only when i turn corners slow in gear not under power tunring or turning out of gear so im assuming its a racing one
anyway does anyone know where i can locate a normal LSD thats no so serious or anyone willing to swap i would rather buy though as i want to turn my second fto into a racing machine

thanks to anyone who can help

I have an LSD, I think I still have it, that came out of my old box I'd be willing to trade. It's in good condition. I'll pick it up thursday and pm you if your interested.

It's probably got the wrong oil in it.

Change to Motul FF-LSD Type 2.

Then why not keep it for that? :scratch:

As Shane mentions above too, limo diffs are super sensitive to the oils they are used with. I went through about 4 different brands & types before settling on one that worked & stopped much of the clunking & fking around that it used to do.

Is the Motul FF-LSD Type 2 recommended oil in a FTO gearbox with Cusco 1.5 way LSD + possibly aftermarket gearset?

I'm very happy with it in my racecar, up to you to decide what's right for your car ;)

You get used to the clunking.

On another note, Ben what was the additive in yours? Fuchs if Im not mistaken?

I was using the Nulon G70 with Syntrax, but I've since changed to the Valvoline LS90 & I don't need it. Best oil I've found so far.
