Hi all, I've finally worked out why landcruiser lsd are not up to our standards compared to patrols. After many attempts of messing around Ive used my mechanical background to finally crack the code, puzzle, mistery or lack of design from factory. The reason they just don't work is the order of the clutch pack themselves. No need to add or do anything to shims as that won't solve the problem. As said, it's the order they're in. So for all cruiser lovers here are my findings:- standard factory lsd clutch pack order are:- ring gear, fibre plate, steel plate, fibre plate, steel plate, fibre plate, steel plate, shim. The problem is there's not enough friction contact on ring gear having this set up. Here is what you want to do:- ring gear, STEEL plate, fibre plate, steel plate, steel plate, fibre plate, steel, fibre, shim. This is the best 3 fibre plate lsd clutch set up. Just like the famous patrols. No need to add or mess around with clutch packs, but note, you need to have a lot of mechanical knowledge to have a go at rebuilding this. Ille post up some pics soon, as ille be doing a mates lsd soon as
well. One thing to note, is their is one critical measurement to do before, is measuring all clutch packs combined clamped together to see if the overall thickness is still within specs.
