At least DC2-pwr realises where your wrong LOL
cmon guys who gives a F*** lol
I need to get rough prices on fixing these driveshafts
Better to rebuild them or buy new ones??
How much to replace shafts
Buy new ones preferably from a driveshaft shop as genuine ones will cost you a friggin gold bar. They should be around 200 bux per side =]
Actually, they are pretty similar.Quote:

If you're using a Helical LSD, You don't need a boutique LSD Oil.
As for different weights, I hope you're not running those Hyphoid / Transfer case oils in your BSeries Box? something like a 140 weight..
The honda trans was originally meant to run Engine Oil - There's really no harm in using engine oil for the Tranny.Quote:

Can anyone recomend any good driveshaft places?
Does bursons or any type of shop like that stock aftermarket ones???
if you read he says he is running a aftermarket lsd or oem lsdQuote:

have you used engine oil in your race car's gearbox if you think it can be used ?
love to see what happens after a few laps
He didn't say whether the aftermarket LSD is a Plate or Helical. All I'm saying is that Helical doesn't need special lsd oils.Quote:

Pre-94, Honda Service Manuals state the use of Engine Oil. This is because MTF was not available yet. Honda MTF is basically just Engine Oil + Friction Modifiers. (Probably because Honda marketers though "shit, people keeps asking about engine oil for the gearbox, there is a market for MTF, lets make one so we can $ell it") - Many years ago when the B's first came out, we used engine oil (Mobil 1, 15w50) without any adversed effect. If not for my PLATE lsd, I doubt that even now if I ran engine oil, it would have much adverse effect.
But thats beside the point, the argument was whether gear oil and LSD oil was the same. Well, where is the LSD located? gearbox right? Does it have a seperate lubrication system for the LSD? Nope...it lubricates using the gearbox oil right? Therefore LSD oil is a type of Gearbox oil, and there IS a gearbox oil.
Anyway, why are you getting so worked up over this man?
so would you use engine oil in your race car now
if you endorse it so much and say it works
would you warranty your race parts if i use engine oil in one of your lsd?
fact is most normal people would use engine oil for there engines
and lsd gearbox oil for there lsd gearboxes
The DC2R is an LSD box, Honda recommends using MTF - Is MTF some special LSD oil? As I have said earlier, but you just keep choosing to ignore - For a Helical LSD, you don't need boutique Oils.
Fact - MTF is based on engine oil + friction modifiers,
Fact - Honda did state engine oil for their earlier gearbox (prior to MTF)
Fact - LSD Oil is a gearbox oil (So you're incorrect for calling the other guy a fool here)
Anyway, I'm done here - No point flogging a dead horse.
