Also: the 'tabbed shim washer' in the LSD seem to be broken. I can't locate new ones. Maybe you can?


John, check with Guard. I don't know if they'll sell the parts or not though.

Some data from this last weekend.

I saw trans temps around 230, maybe 235 degrees at Road America in cool conditions - upper 40's. Only one data point, but there it is...

Ironically, after about 125 hours of use, my trans started getting noisy at the end of the weekend. Time to start looking at a rebuild!

I dont consider 230-235 super hot but I would shoot for 200 or so if given the choice. That being said the Pinion will be much hotter than that on a local level. The high pinion heat transfers to the bearing and kills it. I bet you will start seeing wear pretty quickly on the pinion soon.
