2001 vx , 5.7 L , LSD problem , only have single wheel spin , Can anyone help me .

[comfortss]

LSD not perfoming , If i turn right , the right wheel spins , If i turn left , the left wheel spins , In a straight line , only the left wheel spins , And In the wet the left spins through 1st gear , but as soon as second gear hits , the LSD finally engages and is very bloody dangerous , can anyone help me as to why the LSD does not engage straight away , PLZ .

I believe the technical term for you diff is " rooted "

Sounds like it needs to be rebuilt.

[comfortss]

Seriously , what needs to be rebuilt , just the diff centre or ?

HAHAHA. OH WOW! I said literally the exact same thing to myself when I read OP.

EDIT: Just need to take the car to a garage that does diffs and say that the diff needs to be rebuilt. Would be a good opportunity to get some 3.73 diff gears.

Reshim....... Good chance to pick up some 3.9s

ok thanx guys , i was kinda dreading that answer though . does anyone no what kind of price id be looking at for a rebuild , and what would be better , 3.7 or 3.9 gears , i had 3.9,s in my vr 5L ss and ****ing loved them , but just wondering if theyd be to much for a 5.7 or not as a daily driver ?

[TrikkBen]

The only noticeable difference between 3.7 and 3.9 is the ~200rpms while cruising.

Whilst you're at it you may as well change the cam to match the new diff gears..

[comfortss]

might have to remorgage the house at the end of this ay , hahahaha , so ya reckon 3.9 s then hey , got any idea of what a rebuild could cost

About $1000 to get it rebuilt (best quote I've got) maybe a little less or a little more.

[comfortss]
