Diffential (LSD) at 128.000 km's
Hi there,
During clutch repair I asked the specialist to open the gear box and check the synchronization 'cause it scatched when changing the gears.
That was solved, but a slight look on my Diff showed a real mess.
But look yourself. Spares for the Diff @ 620 EU.
Someone an idea about the Why's and What's? For it's a cruiser I was exactly 2 x on the race track with each 12 laps. All the rest of about 10' km a year "just cruising arround" and rocking the twisting roads in the famous Alpes.

Unless a good quality GL-5 gear oil was not used, the brinnelling was likely caused by a manufacturing process defect.
Its very unusual for the spider gears to do this.

Steve, that's what I thought, too. BUT my mech said ... too much driving in too small corners with too much acceleration so that the inner rear wheel looses contact, and when hitting the ground again, it hits back in the diff.
You don't think so?

I have seen that quite a bit. The next thing is for the little needle bearings under the spider gears to fall out and wreck the whole gearbox.
If you think about it, all the engine torque goes thru the spider gear/side gear interface even when the car is going straight.
IMHO all non LSD 993 diffs are time bombs.

I'm not sure why you're calling your open diff an "LSD", as it's clearly a stock, open diff. At any rate, those parts are available in good, used condition for very little money from anyone who has upgraded to an LSD. Retaining your housing and swapping just the internals avoids the necessity of resetting the backlash & preload.

Paul, I was unsure 'cause translation issues ... is a bone stock standard diff. You're right. sorry for mixing up words.
Anyway, I tried not really to look for a LSD ... 'cause it's a cruiser and for my feeling, the mess is not resulting from cruising "the long and windy roads"
