KAAZ 1.5 install S13

whats the deal with all the noise these things make after you put them in? I think something`s not right cuz I have a lot of of slop it seems like when I turn. The shims fit in tight and I made sure that the diff was set in tight to the gear in the back of the pumpkin...dunno but I think the more I slide around , the worse that the clacking gets...it definately locks up when I need it too though LoL...anybody ever use these?

mine only really clunks if im doing like a u turn with the clutch it

[Slip N Slide S14]

clutch types are NOISY by nature

make sue you added the friction modifier

Ford friction modifier works real well

i assume that you measured the actualy backlash on the diff and just didnt assume the shims would set it right....

Theres always a chance you installed it wrong but clutch diffs are noisy. rocks in a blender noisy. I dont know what you mean by slop. If it locks up its working. I run a 2way but that shouldnt make a difference.

I have a KAAZ 2 way. They are noisy. The more you break it in, the noisier it will get. I find it hard to believe that you didn't know that before buying it. I love mine... The noise is just a part of having a 1.5/2 way. Some are louder or quieter but clutch types make noise...

Just use the KAAZ oil. Don't add friction modifier to it.

I love it when I turn in a parking lot and people look at my car like something is broken because of the popping from the diff.

i run open diff cuz im different!!!! clutch types are so bandwagon!!!!

slop is normal.
noise and clunck is normal.
just make sure there is enough fluid in there at all time.

yea I bought it from 240sxmotoring and they said to just throw it in and that the stock shims would work with it - which it seemed like they fit perfectly tight. I had to hit the last one in with a punch. But after it was in, the diff seemed to turn fine with no play at all.

[Infinite]

did you break it in properly?

[Blacktop180]

The slop is in the driveshaft. Like if i jack the whole car up, e-brake off, out of gear of course, and turn the driveshaft with my hand about an 1/8 of a turn, the wheels dont do anything. After that they start turning. That`s what I mean by slop - turning of the driveshaft where nothing happens to the rear wheels

theres a gap between teeth in the diff...
if you shimmed it wrong this gap will be off.
some slop is normal... its a production car, not a hand built race car

[Blacktop180]

for the break in period i just the figure 8`s for 10 minutes or so - not really the recommended 20 or 30...but I didn`t break the tires loose until about 200 miles of driving on it.

sounds like you shimmed it wrong
it wont just work with the stock diff shims
ou have to measure backalsh and pinion breakway torque, etc
