Jordk Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike@TD.co.uk Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 We offer gearbox rebuilds, however it can become very expensive if you need to start replacing gears and not just synchros. Cheers Mike JonesTuning Developments Ltd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jordk Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 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?

yaristurbo Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Is it stock LSD or aftermarket, you're a bit far or I could have tried to sort something Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jordk Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daniel_g Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 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 :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
