Hey guys, My S14 LSD seems to have some play. It also clunks. Now, what are my options? Is it repairable? Can I swap on S13 LSD or do I have to use S14? S14’s are so hard to find in the junk yard. Are there any other LSD I can use? I wouldn’t mind longer ratio cuz I think I’d save more gas that way. I just don’t want to have to replace my half shalfts. Any simple swap you guys think is good? ---

S13’s will work but you will have to change the rear cover plate. The only other thing is get an aftermarket one like Nismo, Kaaz, Cusco etc. ---

You can use a NA 300ZX diff, or one off the J30. You’ll have to change the output flanges on both with your old ones. IIRC, the J30 has a slightly lower final drive ratio too. ---

Oops, I already get ahead of myself. Guess I have ADD. 😛 S14 pumpkins are mounted onto the subframe by bushings in the front. There might be play in the bushings. Nismo also makes replacements. ---

BTW, Anyone know how much an s13 VLSD is worth? ---

The ‘clunking’ your talking about may not necessarily be your diff, it may be a problem with your driveshaft like worn out U joints for example. ---

True… Look into the driveshaft and halfshafts. > [@Souljourner](#): > > BTW, > > Anyone know how much an s13 VLSD is worth? $200 - $400
