LSD Testing

[j14nsx]

OK, the question I have is probably not what you were thinking. I refer to LSD in the Ltd Slip Differential sense of the term......

Anyway, yesterday I was having some car control tuition, by a professional driver. We also have another NSXer there too. He suggested that the LSD in my car is not working as much as it should.

Question: Is there a sensible, reliable way of testing the LSD? Preferably with the car on jacks rather than spinning it round a cr park.

The car is a 1992, I think they all had a LSD right?

Yeah, just put the right rear on a jack stand, block the other wheels, and use a torque wrench.

The service manual has more detailed instructions including how to disassemble, repair and reassemble the unit.

Thanks. I thought it would be something like that. I guess the gearbox has to come out to fix the diff, that will have to wait until I replace the clutch.

It is a pretty simple price, I'd be surprised if it wasn't functioning. He may have been expecting a higher break-away torque, which can be adjusted, or the NSX-R spring plate & washer can be added to increase it even more so. It is supplied with the NSX-R ring & pinion gearset from us.

What year is your NSX? The pre 95 cars have the clutch type LSD, maybe it's worn out? I have notice my car when going through tight corners on the track, the inside wheel tend to slip a lot. I'm putting in the ATS LSD to see if it improves anything.
