RS5F31V Viscous LSD

[Craig]

This is now surplus to my requirements, so it's up for sale, I have tested it with my K11 1.3 driveshafts and the splines fitted so this should fit all 1.3s and post-98 1 litres.

Considering how often you see these and that a new LSD from the UK is ~£600 I am asking for £200 for this.

You will need to put a ring gear on this, however I can supply and fit a 1.3 one if you can wait a week or so.

I'd prefer collection as it's pretty heavy, but am willing to arrange postage/courier.

can a 1.3 gearbox be bolted to a ga16de???

How and were is this fitted to the gearbox??

 

[Robert]

I believe the 1.3 gearbox can be mounted to the 1.6.. I think Ollie was going to do it? Speak to him about which box it was he tried.

 

[squarepants]

ive seen a ga16 box on a cg13.. so should fit the opisite way around.

 

[TONEY]

ollie mounted the cg box on to the ga http://www.micra.org.uk/showthread.php?t=23231

mike:: it would be possible to do it the other way round using cg clutch and flywheel and custom shafts

craig:: if this was for a ga i would of bit your hand off :doh:

 

[ollie240585]

Yes the CG box does fit on a GA engine, although you do require the 1.6 Clutch and Flywheel and you need to use the GA16 starter motor and cover the hole on the CG box where the starter would go.

 

[NeX]

i might be interested depending on how much i get paid. is it new?

 

[Craig]

Toney, surely if you used it in your GA box (I believe that it *should* fit) then you could just use std driveshafts Micra?

Nex, It is not new, I can smell the gearbox oil on it.

[Ed]

Craig this wont work in anything but a box designed for it. eg one from a march ST or similar. It will not fit in a CG13 or a GA16 box.

 

[Craig]

I see no reason why it shouldn't fit - I will get some measurements and test fit it in the broken box that I have then report back.

Craig

 

[Ed]

I can and they show up clearly in that pic. One bearing is very much larger than the other. The bearings on the K11 box and all other non LSD boxes have the same size bearings on each side of the diff. It also requires a special splined driveshaft end,

 

[Robert Whelan]

will this fit a nissan cherry turbo gearbox by any chance??

 

[Ed]

Not unless it already has an LSD. As I said the bearings on the V boxes on the Diffs are different.

 

[jdmk11mike]

so to summarise this LSD is completely useless, will only fit in a 1.0 litre box, and you would have to get custom driveshafts made up, and its not really worth having in a 1 litre anyway as there isnt enough power to want to use an lsd???

 

[Ed]

I am not trying to put off a sale for Craig, BUT it will ONLY fit in a box designed with an LSD already. I.e. an RS5F31V box.

 

[whipit]

and its not really worth having in a 1 litre anyway as there isnt enough power to want to use an lsd???

Beg to differ on that as a LSD comes into alot of play with fwd vehicle in the corners!

No.

This is for a 1.3

Point taken on board re the bearings, that is a matter that I will have to deal with, I disagree with regards to the shafts, though, as I have fitted shafts to the diff unless you mean the actual END of the shaft - don't suppose that you have a pic. of the splines you're referring to Ed?

Craig

 

[Ed]

The splines are the same, but I am telling you the lengths are different.

 

[NeX]

i would be interested but as you can imagine i want to be 100% sure it will work.

if you need different shafts then surely you just need new inner CV joints yea?

 

[Craig]

Well I'm off to do some real-world research tongiht then - results later!

I'm guessing that you don't have on of your ST driveshats sitting on the side ready to be measured?

Don't worry, my business is customer staisfaction
