spuddo Member 16 Member For: 15y 4m 5d Gender: Male Posted 02/12/09 03:39 PM Share Posted 02/12/09 03:39 PM I posted details of the aftermarket clutch free diff I installed on My G6E Turbo which was informative on the Pro's and cons of LSD's factory and aftermarket.It was moved to the driveline forum for what reason I don't know.I fly jets for a living instead of installing or selling diffs. Anyway you can do a search for my post with my username but all I am saying is whatever aftermarket diff you install will probably be stronger and the same cost except no clutches to wear out.Also it is super quiet and makes no noises engaging.Basically the same as stock open wheeler but not only in a straight line. All I am saying is do your research before you buy one.RegardsSpuddo (FG G6E Turbo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spuddo Member 16 Member For: 15y 4m 5d Gender: Male Posted 02/12/09 04:10 PM Share Posted 02/12/09 04:10 PM Yep. That would be because the amount of noise the LSD will produce over a single legger... for a luxury car, it would be unacceptable. The last thing they want is all the grandpas complaining at the doors of dealers...This is total crap. My LSD is as quiet as a stock open wheeler.Would not know it was installed except it goes sideways in a straight line and around corners.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst it is specific to G6ETs it is a technical driveline thread, so is more at home in that section. http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/G6-E-Turbo-Diff-Update-t62344.htmlThe noisy diff comments above are in relation to the standard LSD fitted to the XRs etc., so obviously has no bearing on aftermarket replacements such as yours.

Posted 05/12/09 11:44 AM Share Posted 05/12/09 11:44 AM One quick comment about the "noisy LSD diff" issue - rubbish. Mine's been in for 3500 plus k's now, it's a Ford LSD replacement unit. No clunks, no noise, no nothing (including traction control playing with brakes et al.... LOL). Could not be happier - it's brilliant. Most of the credit goes to the installer - some guys really know their stuff - and that certainly DOES help. Settings for backlash etc are the crux of the matter.
