Honda AWD CRV Differential Notes

[@rudyzanet3861]

Thanks for taking the time to visualize and explain all that. Really appreciate you doing this. 🙏🏼

[@bentizzy780]

Your description made me understand a whole new thing I didn't understand before... I guess I might have an imagination!

[@Luke-dn7mu]

has anyone tried just driving the piston in the pump with a secondary hydraulic pump? you could then activate 4wd with the flick of a switch.

[@Denver1976Man]

that is a good idea

[@kenadams3951]

good video on the rear.

[@hemtet5500]

Very interesting as I've got a slightly clunky rear diff on my 06 cr-v. I'm trying the oil flush recommendation but I wondered if the innards go bad what exactly would fail?

[@teddy_awdB19]

I got the s1 built locking plates for my crv rear diff. GearX also that part if you want to upgrade the whole clutch pack along with the dual pump but its 2500

[@windv]

Did you succeed in installing the viscose coupler in the CR-V? I would love to know how it went and how it drives now. How did you mount it ? Thanks

[@povertygarage705]

Not going in a crv. This is all for my 99 ek civic. Haven't got it together yet

[@AlexA-tk1lj]

If I was to tell u that I was able to manually switch over awd I'm sure it would be a better option. I'm trying to find a way to make my hondata s300 to operate it automatically with the pwm.

[@MrRibval]

Did it work

[@doonkdidit]

How did you put it on a switch.

[@flyboyfs]

hi i have hrv one, and i wonder if one can adjust the oil pump for a quicker activation ?

[@jamkpa]

Good job!

[@Denver1976Man]

so if you had it locked in all the time the ratio would be off?

[@mariopic]

the freelander cupler should solve the problem with binding

[@jojojeep1]

I have a 2013 Honda CRV, I diligently take care of it I mean I change the transmission fluid every 10,000 miles it’s just too easy not to do it, to my understanding the transmission fluid in the transfer case are the same thing if I am not correct let me know, I am I supposed to address the transfer case separately thank you

[@drummerTBM]

Yeah they are the same thing. When you get to the pilots and ridgelines with the VTM4 setup it’s different fluids.

[@mudslinger1m]

Hi, I have a 2003 CRV, I want to put in a newer rear diff in to get the upgraded ramp up system that the 07-11 CRVs had for quicker engagement, Do you know if the Gear ratio in the Diffs are the same ? Thanks!

[@adityagautama3782]

Is it the same clutch with the transmission clutch?

[@alexs.5675]

Question. Can I fit a 2007 crv diff on a 03 Honda element?

[@ratdog7050]

Very cool Honda used there motorcycle prowess to put a modified motorcycle wet clutch in the back of a CRV! What year CRV are you working on?

[@povertygarage705]

This is a 1st gen crv diff that I pulled from a junkyard. I'm actually planning on putting it into the rear of a 99 civic hatchback. Life struggles have put my progress on hold, though. Hopefully, I'll upload some more videos soon.

[@aldocustomupholstery2853]

Noob question.... Other than the most obvious (going in reverse when in forward gears and viceversa), do you know if this diff could be flipped upside down? Thinking if this could be used in a rear engine car but wondering if gears would bind and if it would lube properly. TIA

[@outspokeninsider752]

Don't think you'd need to flip it, it's already for the rear. However, I would strongly suggest a stronger diff for a RWD application tho. These are meant to see, at best, 40% of engine torque, maybe around 100ft/lb (and thats optimistic). Just notice the difference in axle diameter from front to rear on any crv, element, pilot, crosstour, etc. The fronts are 2x as thick. You will notice ppl blowing axles constantly even on very light civics making over 200, who bypass the clutchpack as you would need to for rear-drive. So you would need aftermarket axles at least. You would also have to pin the honda diff, where a "normal" diff would work without internal modification, be lighter, stronger, and use reasonably sized axles. Just my 2c. Plenty of ppl here that might jump in with their own input.

[@aldocustomupholstery2853]

@@outspokeninsider752 Thanks. The question wasn’t referring to RWD (although, yes, im thinking RWD), but rather rear engine car (think Porsche/early VW) where the engine would end up on the other side/behind the diff effectively having to rotate/flip it. Could it practically be done? I see all your other concerns though. Thanks for the reply.

[@AlexEtmekian]

What is the Facebook group called?

[@MyIronman8]

they sell billet parts for that

[@farmerbob139]

spray weld on a lathe.

[@ahmetbarbaros5602]

How do I get these pads in my car is missing the pads

[@qray7873]

I failed mechanics in high school.

[@kenadams3951]

45 bucks cool

[@MyIronman8]

they sell an kit for that man

[@MyIronman8]

no the rear tires slip and the pump locker the rear end and makes it 4by 4 the gearing in the frount and rear are the same . Its called pussy 4by4 drive they do sell at kit that makes the rear end All wheel drive . Dont see why no one makes and box and drive shaft for it and clutch kit for it
