Thread: Differential oil change.

Hi, guys, I was wondwring if it was possible to get the old viscous fluid drained in my oem differential and replaced with new fluid? It been long known that the fluid wears out after 30-50k miles, but they never actually never mentioned anything about the internal components themselves....
I actally asked a few people about this, not received replys, so I wanted to get a idea if this was a good idea or not. If it were possible it be a more cost effective service than purchasing a brand new full diff which many of us only lightly race our cars, mainly daily drive them. Let us know your thoughts.

No response? Not a member? not a mouse?

Sealed, can't replace

Yes I know, but maybe there is a way for them to drill ,tap,and reweld that spot, or even give us a conpletely new half of the diff that contains the fluid. Both of these options are not impossible if their producing a complete whole diff for the other guys. People are interested, their just not speaking up. last time I check this post had 171 views.

buy the Mfactory helical when it finally comes out, like the rest of the world...

if there is a cost efficient way of doing this, im sure everyone would be jumping at this.

I would have done it the day after I got my car. Only solution is to get another whole assembly. After 22 years, I wonder if my LSD even has enough fluid to be effective anymore. I don't know.

tyre wear (lhf wearing out in 1/2 the time and rhf one does) and (of course) skid marks will tell you. most vlsd units get a bit tired around 100,000kms.

100kms.. quick math, that's about 62,000 miles - yeah I'm double that at least on the trans (128k trans, 76k motor) - ahh well. I gave up with the shit tires long ago, just waiting for the tread to wear down so I have an excuse to toss them and get good ones (note: never buy NANKANG tires)

$600 lsd +300 bearings+ $30 shipping. & installation $$$$$ = Not happening for me anytime soon. There is a reason why I 'm asking this to the people that CAN. make this happen for us.
