This is by far the best write up i have seen for an LSD [http://www.driftfactory.com/lsdinstall.php](http://www.driftfactory.com/lsdinstall.php). Basicly as long as the gears are meshing properly you don’t have to change anything, just be very careful not to mix up the shims. ---

^Word. I used that to help me with my install a couple weeks ago, covers everything nicely. I think Tomei’s got it spot on with their diffs though, just install the ring gear and put the shims in exactly like they were and the gears should mesh just fine. Don’t forget to pick up some Permatex Prussian Blue to check the gear pattern though. It’s a coloured dye that you apply to a few teeth, rotate the gear a couple of turns and it will show you how everything’s meshing. Oh, and don’t use synthetic gear oil in the diff. Tomei diffs don’t like it. B-Wurm 😃 \*\*Edit: From he FSM ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/Buddyworm/gearpattern.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/Buddyworm/gearpattern.jpg) ---
