[Bogging Down when shifting under full boost]

Have checked plugs and they are alright. Ill try a dfferent bov and see. Thanks!

[Bogging Down when shifting under full boost]

So pretty much under full boost and when i shift it bogs down then keeps going again after a second or two. Other times when i do the same thing it gives the nice 4wd jolt.

[Bogging Down when shifting under full boost]

Anyone?

[Bogging Down when shifting under full boost]

I have a problem for a while now,

When im under full boost and then shift (Clutch popped, and foot flat on accelerator), the car will just bog down for a sec or two then picks up and goes again.

This only sometimes happens, when it doesnt it does the normal jolt when i pop the clutch

Any help?

Thanks

remove Rear diff and drain oil then the back cover comes off 6 or 8 bolts can't quite remember. you'll see it what type it is . i removed my crown Wheel lsd assembly . you just remote side plates where the cvs go in then assembly comes out. but there are shims behind the plates which set the back lash . remember to keep these on the same side they were removed from or you will fark your dif

Thanks for the help, once out what should i be looking out for? Not sure how to tell between or even if its lsd or not lol

And alsom what should i be looking at once its opened up? I have no clue lol. Cheers

[LSD Identification]

Oh yup, Im keen to open it up to see. Hard to open up the case?

[LSD Identification]

Oh yup. You reckon i should try that with mine? Take it apart and clean it and put some proper oil in? You reckon i have the same type of lsd. If so what kind of oil did u use? Cheers dude

WRXONP said its no good if its mechanical? Cheers

[LSD Identification]

What oil should they be running? If would happen if you put wrong oil in? Cheers

Im saying you may have a sure trac . may have wrong oil. like i said when mine had broke a axle it would spin spider gears. when you spin one In mud that's also spinning spiders. haven't tried mine in mud. know it locks up when its suppose to swell.

I used castrol for both my gearbox and rear diff. Diff was a 1l black bottle. G box was a white bottle, cannot remember the exact names, but got replaced about 1 year ago.

Were these the right oil to use? I searched on here to know which oil to buy.

i know r200 viscos lsd can be shimmed . you push the viscos unit harder in.. may be able to do the same to r160 and 80. i have an r160 suretrac. awesome diff locks real solid as there's nothing to shim or adjust in them. need the right oil though. but red up on them and the do spin spider gears if one losses drive. ie Wheel spinning 1 Wheel. when my axle broke in Rear it would just spin spider gears and go no where. but when you say Wheel spin ie launch or power over etc just straight locked up . lol hard to explain. you may have suretrac

thanks for the reply, but i dont quite understand what your trying to say? Lol sorry

[GC8 STi Factory with rear LSD?]

Thanks for the reply guys.

I will be looking at getting a secondhand diff, seems like my one is stuffed.

Anyone got one for sale?

Thanks

[GC8 STi Factory with rear LSD?]

Funkytown you are correct.

Can these lsd be shimmed?

 funkytown said:

a viscous will do that

il put $100 on an open front diff, viscous center and viscous rear. unless it was changed from factory.

How to tell if Front is open?

Oh so whats the next step? Shitty viscous!

 funkytown said:

whats the Gearbox code.

it wont be open. viscous as worst. an lsd if your lucky.

TY754VBAAA Trans Code

Seems like it is, one wheel spinning in the mud/gravel/Uneven surfaces

Thanks

Did a search but couldnt find anything.

Did the GC8 v6 STi come factory with rear LSD?

My scooby seems like the rear has an open?

Cheers

[help!! hard to change gears]

Is it just 3rd and 5th or all gears?

[Heavy duty STI shocks...?]

These looks like the ones in my version 6 sti. My car is pretty stiff and handles well.

[6MT gear oil?]

Castrol Multitrax 80/90 worked very good in my 5spd

get a 10 or 12mm nut and weld the bastard on. then you dont have a huge extension hanging out plus you crank the welder as hot as it will go (so long as its not a 500a 3 phase!!!) and weld the guts of the nut to it. and leave it on there, problem solved without too much hard work.

I like the way your thinking!!

[After oil Change]

Did you put enough engine oil in?

[Clutch Pedal no pressure]

Thanks guys. Have it all sorted now. But again, i changed my slave and still have the same problem where the engagement point is high and slight shudder on take offs and downshifts.

Thanks

[Clutch Pedal no pressure]

Just a quick question, After reading keltiks "how-to" post. Does the pistion on my slave need to be clamped while bleeding?
