The new transmission came a while ago. The differential that cam with the transmission had been welded by the previous owner so I needed to find a new differential. I decided that since I was replacing the diff it would be nice to have a limited slip in there. There are always a few JDM LSDs on ebay so it wasn’t hard to find one.
I was pretty sure that some modifications would be required to fit the differential and upon opening the case and attempting to fit the diff. it looked like they wouldn’t be too extensive.
There was some webbing in both halves of the case that needed to be ground down so that the differential wouldn’t rub. I also had to replace the bearing from the bell housing side of the differential with one from a 2000 integra type-r (part number 91005-P80-E31). This bearing is a little taller which stops the speedometer gear on the differential from rubbing on the case.
After the modifications the diff appears to fit fine. Now I just have to order the shims, the gap is a little larger than normal so I may have to stack two shims but I don’t see why this would be a problem.
