Fizturbo Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 If you have lsd box and if it was faulty then it would make a clunkin knockin noise on low speed an slight turns,Some oils could cause friction between the plates,If the springs in the (2 plates) either one of them is broken/really weak so it cant hold on to both left and right drive shafts.Also make sure its got the rite oil in the gearbox for LSD (Red line mt90 transmission oil 75w-90) i use it in my MR2.
