EDIT: 1, 1.49mm shim to be added along with the original shim to make the diff locked

I seem to have quite a bit of backlash in my diff...

Its a tight tiff in terms of LSD though. very very rarely spins one.

coming out of drive ways etc. will often chirp the inside wheel..

But when cruising along. there seems to be a big gap between positive and negative load on the diff. theres a bit of a clunk when going between on and off throttle. which i believe is backlash? defaintely seems to be my diff and not my gearbox.

Would shimming help this?

Thanks

you will find the crown wheel has horn and teh play between the pinion and crown is to large.

you can pull the centre out and add a different backlash washer to lower the play but it needs to be done by a doff guy.

the diff will not last very long like that

hmm.

Im looking at getting a 1.5way in the not too distant future.

maybe it will hold out untill then

has any1 gone what could be percived as being a 1.3/4way or just above a 1.5way in terms of shimming the diff.What size shimms have you used?

What were it's results.

I was looking at buying a diff from japland.only to realise that it would arrive to late for me to use it at the SAU NSW drift day.and i dont want to pay the large AUS prices for lsd's.So this seems like a viable medium.could be done in a day ,by myself,the cost is kept at an absolute minimum and deftinenlty bang for buck.
