Installing an OEM LSD

[dazjb]

When swapping an LSD from one gearbox into another is it a straight forward swap or is there some shims that need fitting? I've read that when installing an aftermarket LSD that shims may need fitting but this is an FTO LSD that I'm taking from a gearbox and fitting into my own.

I've got the info on stripping the box down just not sure on this shimming business.

I don't know for certain regarding the LSD, but the shimming in the box that I know about is to ensure the correct preload/endfloat on the bearings in the box. If you are swapping stuff about it will need rechecking and reshimming.

Cheers Nick. Going to hang on fitting the LSD till I get back from Shakespeare in two weeks. Don't want to fit it, put it all back together then have issues with it when I'm going drag racing
