Hello guys,
I just brought a C52 gearbox with LSD that was pulled from a crashed AW11.
When the box is in neutral and I turn one axle the other spins in the same direction. I can see right through the diff, but the center is slightly narrower than the ends where the axle stubs fit in.
I've been told that it is probably a clutch pack LSD. What type of gearbox oil should I be using?
Which oil for C52 LSD gearbox?

Apparently Valvoline, Elf etc make a 75-90 gearbox oil suitable for LSDs. I'll go have a look in Repco tommorow.

I have a TRD plate LSD in my starlet GT (C52 box), I found after trying a few different oils that Redline 75-90 oil works best , (make sure you DON'T get the 75-90 NS stuff)
EP82 Starlet GT club race car;
best time around Manfield to date : 1:19:91
"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

From memory I recall TRD Man saying he used to run the Castrol LSD oil (75W90) with the TRD slippery in his rally car rather than the TRD stuff. I personally use Elf 75W90 LSD oil in the Corolla and haven't had any problems with it (my mechanic swears by it, it solved problems one particular Honda rally driver had with eating gearboxes) but it is a little on the pricey side - approx $80 for 4 litres.
Having said that mine (and presumably TRD Mans) were plate LSDs so I don't know if the same oils are suitable for clutch LSDs - I'm a n00b when it comes to diffs, I just know that mine works for me

We know that four-wheel drive doesn't work in a racing car, and I proved to myself that it doesn't work very well for rallycross. I'm absolutely convinced that it has no future in rallying, either, even if the regulations allowed it. - Roger Clark (rallying legend), circa 1976
