My VLSD went out and I need to know if I need to modify anything or if it needs to be a special kind of LSD. I'm buying a stock lsd. Need some help.

 

how you know if your lsd goes out?? sorry to be off topic..

 

Well ur LSD is pretty much 2 clutches. They wear out like a clutch. So once ur trying to drift or burn out, the clutches lose grip and one side will just lose traction.

 

Research man. It's not 2 clutch... Vlsd works with fluid. Do some more research. All everyone is going to tell u here including myself is to buy a real LSD. Oem vlsd is trash

 

Really? Then I was misinformed! Well now I know! Well if my LSD is going out, do I need more fluid in my differential?

 

Diff fluid is seperate from the VLSD fluid. Once the VLSD fluid has been cooked (usually lasts 2 to 3 trackdays ) it needs to be replaced, there is no rebuild for it. http://www.courtesyparts.com/kb_sear....php?keywords=[38420M]+\(Z33&cPath=714_715_778_798 is the replacement, or better yet, just install a REAL LSD

 

OK since I'm a newbie to this diff, when I go to buy the LSD does it have to be a certain one cause of my car having the option to turn on and off traction control?

 

No.

Decide what your future use is for your vehicle and your budget for the LSD and make the proper purchase the first time around.

 

As Z1 said, not at all. My VDC functions just fine with my OS Giken unit installed (Ordered from Z1)

 

If you want a prety smooth diff that requires no maintenance look into a Quaife 1.5 way

 

I'm still curious about what you mean when you say, "My VLSD went out . . .". Please share the details.
