all I see is gibberish on that page....

perhaps the type of lsd in the auto tranny is such that is doesn't require the friction modifiers?? and that is why it can run off regular atf?? or maybe the lsd itself is internally lubrated and doesn't see the atf at all?

i'm stumped

Question of the year?

I also asked on deseries.org and h-t??

Best I got was to use ATF with LSD additive.

But which additive is engineered for my LSD?

If you do go that route, any friction modifier will do, they are more or less the same. I used to use Ford fluid from their LSD rear diffs.

You know what.... forget asking around... call Quaife and see if they have an LSD application for an auto tranny anywhere in their lineup. If not, check with the Subaru dealer cuz they use a viscous coupling center diff I think... and so on. I have to ask though, why an LSD auto tranny, what possessed you to do that?

Because i got it cheap...

Tranny cost me less than $100

I stayed quiet and said **** all about the LSD...

This car drives 1000+ KM a WEEK..

Because I have a 20K ZC DOHC grey plug sitting on a floor in Mississauga..

I plan on a complete teardown and rebuild with my uncle and you guys in the next little while..

Maybe we could super document the motor build..

Most of all I just don't give a ****..
