Been doing a little searching around the threads and found some info on lsds for the sprinters and was just curious. I have an aus spec sprinter and also managed to find an alleged "2 way locker" - *shrugs* stuffed if I'd know if it was a 2 way locker but I was told it was. there is no such term as a '2 way locker'. You seem to be combining a '2 way LSD', and a 'locker diff' - they are two different things: 2 way LSD: locked diff: (this is a T series - the spider gears inside the centre are welded) natskis wrote on Tue, 01 March 2005 10:40 Question 1. How do you know if it is a 2 way locker Well, this question can't be answered unless either '2 way LSD' or 'locker diff' is used. If it's a 2 way LSD, the only way to really tell is to put it in and notice when the back wheels lock up when losing traction. 2 way will be locking both wheels on acceleration AND deceleration. If it's complete locked diff and you wanna know if it's locked, just put the diff/centre on ur car and you'll notice the difference straight away. Makes 3 point turns a nightmare and of course if it was a normal diff, there'd be no difference. natskis wrote on Tue, 01 March 2005 10:40 Question 2. Will it fit into an/my aus spec sprinter? your aus spec sprinter has an S series diff standard - you can take the centre out and weld the spider gears to make it a locked diff and have somewhat the same effect as an LSD, only makes it a pain to drive daily. If you are talking about a 2 way LSD, it will NOT fit into the aus spec diff housing as it is too small. You will need to acquire a T series diff off a T-18 toyota and put the LSD inside the centre. Your final gear should be changed too. natskis wrote on Tue, 01 March 2005 10:40 Question 3. I know they are supreme for drifting/burnouts/mischievous behavior. But how are they for just daily driving as well? I heard that they are mongrels to drive around when turning causing the tail to shudder when turning. Again, you're confused with the two terms. The LSD is the supreme item. It acts as an open centre on normal driving (spider gears can turn, no stress on axles/pinion gears) and when it senses loss of traction (ie. drift/burnout/etc) the clutch mechanism inside will make both wheels spin (like a locked diff) so it will engange and disengage by itself - pure genious stuff! The locked diff is the mongrel to drive everyday. natskis wrote on Tue, 01 March 2005 10:40 By the way. I finally managed to look at it again through some light and found out that it has 23 splines. (hopefully what I'm counting on the inside are the splines) ok - here it looks as if you are talking about the LSD. NOT the locked diff. if it's a 23 spline carrier, it'll be a zenki (earlier) LSD, you also have to determine whether it is a clutch type or a mechanical (considerable difference in performance/price) natskis wrote on Tue, 01 March 2005 10:40 Now I haven't actually bought the LSD but have it in my hands and am contemplating the purchase of it. Some friends say yes and some say that its not worth bothering if I'm only using it as a daily driver for the mean time. well i'm afraid your friends are just as confused as you, the LSD is the perfect solution for street/drift application. The locked diff is the cheap way to drift but a mongrel on roads hope it helps ! [Report message to a moderator]
