Limited Slip FAIL

I know you sneak your post while I was typing mine

 

Good info - I've looked at the punkin and there's no such memo on it - it's probably not LSD. Who makes a good locker for Tacos; I know a bunch about putting goodies on my Jeep, the Tacoma is virgin ground for me -

 

Just look on the junk yard for third member with POSI, swap it ( a 1 - 3 hours of work) and be done with it..

 

From what I understand, for the LSD to engage both tires have to be on the ground.

 

Just noticed your new post count, looks like you have had .24 posts per day lol

That could work well; any wiring issues?

 

Mechanical LSD has no wires so nothing to worry about. and since you have prerunner you dont even have to worry about gear ratio. So you are a easy case. Just look for one on car-part.com

 

Cmack , you're in the wrong thread , you want to be here http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/87438-feel-movement-tranny.html

Cool! Thanks!!!

 

Sorry, I thought there was some electrical assist...now I know...

Serves him right anyway...if your gonna jack your truck up and go 60mph...I think him looking for an electrical system would be the least of his worries

 

lol

 

After looking at a parts diagram the other day I realized the Tacoma LSD uses gears, not clutch discs :

Geared LSD

Geared, torque-sensitive mechanical limited slip differentials utilize helical gears or worm gears to "sense" torque on one shaft. The most famous versions are:

• Torsen differential based upon the Dual-Drive Differential invented by Vernon Gleasman in 1958, then later sold to Gleason Corporation, who started marketing it in 1982;
• Quaife differential, sold under the name Automatic Torque Biasing Differential (ATB), covered by European Patent No. 130806A2.
• Eaton Corporation differential, sold under the name Eaton Detroit Truetrac.

Geared LSDs wear the gears and their supports rather than the clutches of the clutch type and the cones of the cone type, but both output shafts have to be loaded to keep the proper torque distribution characteristics. Once an output shaft becomes free (e.g., one driven wheel lifts off the ground; or a summer tire comes over ice while another is on dry tarmac when the car goes uphill), no torque is transmitted to the second shaft and the torque-sensitive differential behaves like an open differential.
Geared LSDs are dependent on the torque and not on the speed difference between the output shafts. Such differentials may not be adequate on extremely slippery surfaces such as ice (or thin air, when a drive wheel loses ground contact altogether).[4]
Geared LSDs may be used:

• to reduce torque steer in front-wheel drive vehicles;
• as a center differential in four-wheel drive (e.g., on the Audi Quattro);
• in rear-wheel drive vehicles, to maximize traction and make oversteer easier to manage (as in drifting).

 

sorry but no. Tacoma LSD is not geared LSD. It is clutch type. So it does not act like geared one and it can transfer power even if one tire is in the air.
However, if it is cooked or additive is too old it will no longer work. Hence it is important to change fluid with CORRECT additive frequently to keep that LSD working as supposed to.

 

ha! dude it was a dumb move on your part regardless of where you did it! what kind of feedback were you expecting posting this up TW?

 

This is a part diagram for the LSD. Look up part number 41039‑34070

 

I may or may not have been present for this experiment that the OP conducted.

 

I gather you never open one
