Before finishing off my build the LSD box I have needs an overhaul as a couple of gears were crunching when I had it on my last starlet. Is there anywhere that I can send it off too that anyone would recommend?


Has anyone tried this themselves? A few guys at my work (I work with motors/pumps for offshore) said it's a bastard of a job to change syncros etc.



I'm in Aberdeenshire but can travel a wee bit to get it done although I'd rather send it off

I'm sure it's just the syncro's that are worn in 2nd and 3rd otherwise the box was fine but I don't want to put a box with this weak points on the car as it'll be running 300+bhp.


Can you offer any kind of courier service or if I can palletise the box can you then return it once overhauled?

It's a TRD LSD. Don't know what sort of knick the diff is in as it was quite clunky but that's normal for mechanical diffs I believe.

Especially when using a puller thats not really ment for it lol. That box was fucked anyway, sold it to a pikey scrap man in the end haha. Should have kept it for the 1st gear though, 85 one is insanely short :/
