Fitted OEM LSD (HELPPPP)

[ashbuxton]

Had a mechanic friend fit my LSD box but he's just rang me with a problem. He's saying When you attach the cables to the box its dragging the gear stick over to one side so you cant select any gears.

Anyone any ideas why this could be happening?

Thanks in advance

Ashley

Sorry to act dumb colin and appreciate the help can you elaborate on what you mean by lsd turbo bracket or have a pic or anything?

Thanks for the reply

Sorted he'd put the cable bracket on wrong way around. Thanks

The gearbox cable selector bracket that's bolted to the box to hold cables in place where the selector cable's are held in place with the U clips

Wasn't far off haha

Yer pretty close mate. Thanks again for the quick response. This box still crunching going into 2nd same as the last box. I assumed it was the box that was causing the crunching could it possibly anything else? It feel crunchy higher up like just below the stick? Any ideas?

could try adjusting the pedal (under the steering column) incase its not fully disengaging the clutch

Would that issue not cause all gears to not engage properly and not just 1st to 2nd?

yup too loose is grind and to tight is clutch slip

try sugar cube also on the box ( located in the selector arm twist the cube 90degree

its probly another crunchy syncro ( probly )

I've owned 3 starlets and 4 gearboxes and every single one has had a 2nd gear crunch. Is it just me or does everyone's starlets crunch in 2nd?

Very very very common indeed

[ashbuxton]

😩 tried sugarcube tonight aswell as new oil and still crunching safe to say synchros on their way out! Never mind rebuild when engine out for forging next year if gearbox survives that long!
