Honda B Series Limited Slip Differential Install (Extremely Satisfying)

Honda B Series Limited Slip Differential Install (Extremely Satisfying)
Hello and welcome to another extremely satisfying Honda B Series video. Today we are going to be installing a Wavetrac limited slip differential into my B Series Honda Transmission. A limited slip differential is a huge upgrade of the the stock open differential. The limited slip diff will cause both tires to receive power in a wheel spin scenario. The stock diff would only cause one to spin and it would be the tire with the least grip. The limited slip diff upgrade will cause a huge bump in straight line acceleration and cornering. This is not an end all guide to differential installs, but it is an extremely detailed guide to installing a Wavetrack limited slip differential into a Honda/Acura LS B Series manual transmission. This process will be very similar to every other B Series limited slip diff install, but may not be exactly the same so please double check with the manufacturer of your differential before following my guide step by step. Not only that, but the sounds and visuals that you are about to experience are extremely satisfying. With that said, let me know how you enjoyed the video in the comment section down below.

Gus is a baby that drools

[@gustavoramirez2556]

Only over you

[@boosted_john]

To provide a bit of backstory on this comment, Gus is a coworker of mine. He was yelling at one of the other express technicians today and then as he finished yelling a big glob of drool came slangin out of his mouth. #babygus

My favorite part of this video was seeing you drop things. IM NOT ALONE

[@fryreartechnology7611]

When that LS V-tec kicks in yo! Love the S2k and this build awesome to see you getting back on it. Don't know how you work and KZbin respect

[@The_Redkween]

I’ve always watched HSG for B-series tranny rebuilds and he makes it look easy but I can tell from watching this that it really isn’t. 😂 good job, Jon!

[@adamcroteau8711]

FINALLY! My built D16 has an open diff and I really regret not getting an LSD while the trans was out of it

[@boosted_john]

I’ll be making a video on if it was worth it once I get the car running.

Great video! You made it look simple 🤣🤣

Looking good got a b18a1 done a bit of stuff to it so far headgasket and oil pump the assembly is always the most satisfying. I can relate tho I'm always dropping shit 😅

So excited, give it the beeansss

It’s been a super fun build! What do you have now?

Love the content keep it up Jon like 👍🏼 :)

[@noahkicks6874]

This looks very intimidating

[@JorgeTorres-is7bv]

Pretty nerve-racking that you keep dropping shit lmao. Love it

[@schmikels_garage]

You need to check the bearing/diff preload when you install a new diff like that. It can mess up the bearings and or diff possibly or the case is the transmission of you don’t check it and shim it properly

[@JohnDoe-cs5uo]

How does one do that? I'm curious to know when installing mine.

[@schmikels_garage]

@@JohnDoe-cs5uo put the diff in put the case on n put a few bolts in and have axle seal out of the top case you put on and put the feeler gauge between the bearing n the shim in the case I think spec is .001-.010 but not 100% should look that up

[@toddkovi2849]

0.004 max per the Honda shop manual @@schmikels_garage

[@AW11SC]

I recently bought a transmission with a Cusco diff swapped in, clearance not checked. 0.05mm to tight and its caused issues with the diff bearings.

[@TH3MOB1]

Great Video Man! Turbo Noll

[@the_mysterious_gamer1657]

Dude this series is really making me want to build an EK or EG, I’m just saving for the day I can import an AE86. Maybe my midlife crisis will be building a honda 😭😭

[@tonyo5732]

Pro tip! Loosen the access plug while the trans is on the car. Saves me a lot of headache when I take apart Honda trans 😂

[@kgatentumadre1312]

Impact 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@aaden4888]

Best BELIEVE when I H-Swap my Integra I will definitely put in an LSD while it’s out. Much love John you definitely got the beans!

[@boosted_john]

BEAN MODE ENGAGED

[@Ekxanny]

“extremely satisfying” drops just about everything 🤣🤣 That’s me Asf

[@jimhiscott2918]

Never use old diff bearings. Next time you remove the speedo ring set it upside-down on a table, apply heat to it and it will fall off on its own. And last put your diff in a dry ice cooler. The NEW bearing will fall on. Heat is the number one enemy of a bearing

[@boosted_john]

Hey Jim! Hope you're doing well man. I hope your build is coming along nicely. I donated to your gofundme a few months back. Always a pleasure to see you in my comment section.

[@ericcarrington9643]

I’ve always froze the bearings and heated the surface bearing sits on did it that way

[@ryansmith2814]

Im wondering how this diff held up without shimming it

[@da6xsi06]

I never had a good experience with wavetrac lsd's. They either won't let the passenger axle go or it slips out on its own.

[@mohhus98]

cool I wish if have the guts to work on my transmission like this

[@boosted_john]

I was pretty nervous tbh. I hope I did everything correctly.

[@efraindiaz1867]

What is that tool called lmk asap

[@m.m.aautos6608]

Yeahhhhhhh rightttttt

[@mikeeyyss2150]

I had pulled the trans out from a d17 to change a bearing or 2 and I messed up the placement of neutral so when I put it back in the car all the gears had resistance and I wasn't able to even shift into 5th or reverse (I had some guy do it for me). Helpful video tho, will be looking at this for reference 👍

[@mikeeyyss2150]

I actually pulled the trans out like 4 times but only opened it one time. I been sold that car and now I have a 99 EX Coupe 5 speed.

[@hseriesonlymonctonnb1181]

What play did you shim the diff to

[@prestonking5692]

Honda calls for 4 to 7 Thousandths thrust.

[@ericcarrington9643]

Did you use the torch on the bearing to get to slide on the diff?

[@ericcarrington9643]

Sure did roasted the trans before he could drive it

[@saleplains]

im curious how sketchy that is. ive never torched a bearing out of fear of cooking the grease

[@JohnSmith-qn5ib]

How much should a job like this cost? Just in labor

[@bigtravis2004]

Did you have to shim the new diff?

[@boosted_john]

I didn’t find anything in the instructions that talked about shimming it and it seemed to fit with zero play so I think it was good without a shim.

[@johndutton4860]

why wavetrac over mfactory ? and also how come you did not check diff end play in the video ?

[@boosted_john]

Did it off camera. Fixed it later…

[@Spudstrodamus]

Now time for a big 2 wheel peel

[@prestonking5692]

Hey man how is the wavetrack holding up? I got one for my h22 stroker build

[@boosted_john]

So far so good! I only have about 300 miles on it tho.

Dropping things like an amateur but made up for it by holding the ratchet by the neck on low torque bolts.
