Dammit I want an LSD!! Do you mind saying what you paid for it?

I think that steering wheel is an aftermarket one with a Volvo badge stuck on it - Fuse has the same one. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've never seen it in a parts catalogue or anything.

As far as I know it is an aftermarket wheel. I have seen same Formuling-wheels in VW's etc... but with diffrent badge.

You are not beliving it, but that cost me 150 euros. I would say that it is cheap as it is practically brand new

[foggyjames]

What a GIT!!! Let me know if you find another

I'm not sure if that second one is anymore available. About year ago there was two of these on sale, then I had no money to buy one. These two were different sellers and I'm not aware of any other lsd in this country.

Unfortainly I can't find who has that other lsd because our finnish forum was hacked/crashed and lot of data lost soon after I saw first time these two lsd announced to be available.

Here is few more pics, maybe they help to find out lsd from Jeep or some other vehicle with compatible parts.

I posted those pics on another forum (hope you don't mind!) to see if anyone could identify the model of LSD. I'm a bit worried you see, because quite a number of knowledgable and respected people came back saying that that doesn't look like an LSD at all! For a start they couldn't see any clutches. They said it could be a locking diff, or it might just be a 'normal' diff. Are you sure it's an LSD, and if so, do you know who made it originally - and which model in their range, what type it is?

I guess the proof will be in the testing! One black stripe or two And the way it engages...on/off (locker) or like a clutch (LSD).

I don't really care what it is - I want one

cheers

could actually be a nsd ya know.

you can test it easy. spin 1 'wheel' end and see if the other 'wheel' end turns, or the gearbox end!

[foggyjames]

I'm not sure you could generate the kind of forces (which tend not to be zero) it needs to 'engage' by hand - maybe not even when installed in the car - and that assumes its a locker. A clutch LSD will feel 'normal' by hand.

There is those small gears inside of both parts, I can rotate gears well in other part, but there is no way to make gears move in other part, so there have to be some kind of locking mechanism?

Actually I would prefer locker type as it suits my driving better

This is only lsd I have ever seen:

I really hope that I have not been cheated here as 150 euros is lot of money for me. Thx for helping to find out what it is as I'm not very familiar with those parts

[foggyjames]

Don't dispair - we think it might just be a slightly wierd type of unit. Can we have pictures of the insides of both 'halves' of the unit please?

cheers

Sorry, server is now little slow as there is pretty much traffic for some reason...

[foggyjames]

Can you get a shot of all of the internals in one shot, plus an image that puts it all in context - say a couple of shots of it being pulled apart from one piece?

cheers

James

I try in a moment.

I got Haynes book today, from that I think that I have now normal differential part and LSD part ??? I'm most suspicious about this.

Part 7 looks familiar?
