Type R LSD Install?
UI have a 95 gsr with y80 tranny (stock on gsr's) and i know the lsd off the type r's will fit. Has anyone installed an lsd before? what do i have to look for? I have bearings on the lsd and the tranny out. Is this a bolt out old diff bolt in new diff procedure? Any tolerances or measuing?

my 94 LS came with a Y80 case. my friends 95 SE came with an S80 case, my GSR transmission is S80, the ITR is S80.
we did a poll on TI, and of those that responded (4 pages long) i was the only one with a Y80. plus i read somewhere else about it (can't find it right now).

I believe my LS is an S80 case as well. Is there a size difference between the S80/Y80 tranny where the diff would go? I know that internally the GSR and LS are different, but the GSR and ITR are the same...as far as the diff size goes.

ummm...I am 100% postive the Type R LSD fits the GSR tranny's (Y80's), they have the same final drive ratio of 4.40 between the two trannies (type r and gsr).
I just need to know are there any clearances I need to measure? has anyone done it themselves? My friend who just graduated a auto tech school said once the tranny is out its a 2 hour job maximum, unbolt the diff, bolt in the new lsd.
