opened the gearbox to check the LSD and reseal the leaking gasket.
to my surprise & found that all of the allen bolts on the LSD cover are loose
this ain't good, exerting strain on the pinion and diff bearing.
removing the cover and oh FFs christ
the most unreliable LSD ever
top view of the fracture
bottom view, can see where its been flattened n the fractures ends rubbing on the plates
close up of fracture 1
fracture 2
seems to be happening every single year, perhaps fatigue fracture from the same manufacture flaw or too much torque?
anyway it's too late to fix and tbh will not bother replacing the spring cos I guarantee it'll only fail again. will wanna replace it with clutch discs instead IF i decide to send the whole diff off to gripper again.
lets compare the discs from previous rebuilds: (feb 2012, mar 2013, aug 2013, oct 2014)
Outer 1 (1.90 , 1.89 , 1.89 , 1.94) think the pitted surface is affecting the reading
Inner 1 (1.75 , 1.73 , 1.73 , 1.74)
Outer 2 (1.10 , 1.54 , 1.53 , 1.55)
Inner 2 (1.54 , 1.53 , 1.53 , 1.52)
Outer 3 (0.95 , 0.94 , 0.93 , 0.94)
Inner 3 (1.53 , 1.53 , 1.53 , 1.54)
Outer 4 (1.55 , 1.34 , 1.33 , 1.32)
Inner 4 (1.55 , 1.53 , 1.53 , 1.54)
digital calipers abit inaccurate I think.
one of the ramps on the planet driver also developed a chipped edge on the Acceleration side.
