Help with rear diff query


Phewsion

Recommended Posts

Hey All

Car: 2002 Forester XT Auto (SG5)

Transmission Code: TV1b5mbzab

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction or has the info I need, searching google for the Trans code just gives me 6 pages of Russian sites that translate badly

I need to replace the rear diff, it's making a metal on metal rubbing noise and the fluid has metal flakes in it (looks like glitter)

I went to strongs but they have 4-5 different diffs and he couldn't tell me which one was mine

I need to know the Final Ratio (4.111 or 4.444) and if it's LSD or not

Also how hard would it be for me to do this.

Thanks :)

Jacking the back of the car up will tell you both these things in about 30 sec .

Need car in nuetral with hand break off . Try spin a wheel . Does other wheel spin same direction ?lsd . Opposite direction or not move is open diff . Put a mark on the d shaft and a mark on a wheel . Turn the drive shaft around as many times as it takes to make the wheel do a full lap . 4 and nearly a half is 4.4 . Just past 4 is 4.1 . Just under 4 is 3.9

I did the wheel spin and both moved the same direction, I thought it was LSD but wanted confirmation as the place I got that info from people were commenting that it doesn't always work, but I was unaware of the the driveshaft trick

I don't have a garage so I'll wait for the weather to nicen up first, Thanks for that info though :D

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
