    :evil:

    Scratch that. It's still effin' sh*t.

    Fine in the car park, but took the car out today to the mk1 meeting and we realised that as soon as we had gone a few hundred yards up the road that it was no better.

    Had enough of it

    This piece of crap is coming out this week, and if it's ok with you Paul I'd like to use that gearbox of yours while we destroy/examine/recondition* (delete as applicable) this lsd one. I'm sick of not being able to use the car - if it means running with just a normal box then fine... I really am quite pissed off with it all.

    Right, Pauls non-LSD gearbox was fitted and all bolted up last night. One driveshaft is in and the other is to fit tonight.

    Hopefully this will solve the problem :(

    Great news! Hopefully that's another rite of passage out of the way and now the newest 1.5 can be enjoyed to the full. Well done chaps!

    On the gearbox front I understand that the factory LSD box uses specific LSD drive shafts. However if one was to buy an aftermarket LSD and fit it to a normal open diff box then I presume the standard drive shafts would be OK. Is this asumption correct?

    Cheers,

    Owen.

    i really wouldnt like to say.... id guess at no,id think an aftermarket lsd would be modelled on the factory lsd and therefore would need lsd output stubs....well stub! only the left side needs changing.

    Sorry to bump this up but I need some help. I am having a hard time finding a LSD stub for the passenger side here.

    I have the driver side stub for a 91 non-LSD and a 93 LSD. From what I've read, either will work in a LSD box just fine.

    I have a 91 non-LSD for the passenger side and it will not go into the box. Paul, you stated in the first post of this thread that it should work? All the threads on MR2oc about machining the stub to fit do not clarify on what exactly to machine on the stub.
