any one encountered this type of diff? i heard trd have made one of these. anyone knows on how to adjust or select locking. thanks rep
As far as I know there is plates you adjust the suit what you want. So its a gearbox out job if u want to swap it over
Cuzco has what known as cam lock. There is a pin inside the unit that you can turn to select how you want the LSD to behave 1, 1.5 or 2. It was done to allow them to make one lsd for multiple applications and users the freedom to choose the setting that works best for them. This is different than preload or locking percentage, thats what the plates are for.
As for the plates, the are mated by their surface A-B-A-B (the plate number varies based on unit, but FF models usually have 4 each side). From factory they are normally 100% meaning any torque will cause them to lock instantly. You can take the plates out and arrange them like AABB (%50 in the case of our AE86 Kaaz). Meaning the lsd will not lock upon a specific torque amount allowing smooth turn in and no noise. You will have to find a guide or instructions from the manufacturer for your brand.
I got mine from the Kaaz, the maker of the lsd I was using. We bought it new from the USA for an AE86. When we got the lsd it would make a loud banging noise. We thought it was broken, but when we called them to return it, they explained that it was just the plates due to the 100% locking position. We were told how to re-arrange the plates for different percentages. Currently its at 75% and noise free.
I've never had that type of lsd diff, so I cant tell you how. The most I've ever done is swap the plates. 2way horrible for FF car, spread the word, LOL!
