1G Where can I find LSD for FWD ?

[Purple_T63]

Alright so to make it short, my current tranny is grinding when I shift in 3rd and 4th so I'm planning on rebuilding one of my spares to swap in next summer.

It's a f5m33 transmission out of (I believe) a 1990 talon fwd turbo. I found a rebuild kit on Jacks Transmissions for all the synchros and shift forks but I can't seem to find a LSD anywhere. I am not planning on taking it to the dragstrip, just a street / track setup. Any recommendations?

It feels like I've searched everywhere and can't seem to find one for a FWD. Also if you have any tips to lookout for when taking these things apart would also help me out a ton!

With the AWD LSD (i.e., smaller diameter axles), yes.

Nate, @9!clipseDOHC, the author of this article, had both an LSD and ELHS, though it doesn't appear that it was noted here. Anyway, it's a good reference: Equal Length Half Shafts Mod (AWD axle in a FWD)

Okay so someone mentioned it earlier, will I be able to run the half-shaft equal length axles if I upgrade my diff? I managed to get a halfshaft from a 90 tsi so I would be bummed out if I cant run it on the quaife LSD...

I think this is the difference between a QDH8B and a QDH7B. I, too, put a quaife in my fwd years ago and it hit me like a sack of bricks. I should have done that mod first.

A lot of good info in this thread from people that are extremely knowledgeable about cars.
