Its crap :banghead:

why's it crap? I thintk that's a d series Si trans with LSD, well more likely a VTi trans but still.
What's wrong with it? at the very least is the diff good? easy enough to pull the ring gear off and swap into another D series box |

Should be the same, if not swap the ring and pinon over. Some factory LSD's from Honda are metal plate and need to be rebuilt, but once the diffs out, its simply replacing a few plates like a motor cycle clutch pack. Not a novice job, but easier then properly closing a trans. Most are helical gear type tho and require no maintenance other then of course changing the fluid now and then no different then a regular open diff. With these it's the same as an open diff, either it works or it doesn't. The metal plate works better when new, then when the LSD function wears out, it operates just like an open diff. The test for it's effectiveness is done with everything installed still, but you could probably rig something similar to what I'm about to describe if you have extra axles laying around or pull yours out and use them to test it before you bother dropping the trans. Basically with one wheel on the ground, the other off use a 32mm socket on the axle nut, and turn in a tightening direction with a torque wrench. It should take more then 35lb/ft I think before the wheel in the air spins.

I'd rather keep the LSD, but that's just me. D series LSD's are kinda rare so you can get ok money for them considering what you paid, tho the demand for D series parts isn't that high compared to B/H/K so if you sell be patient.

Well hell. Patience isn't one of my strong points that's for sure. confused
