Installing a "LSD" into the rear diff of my Honda CRV | CR-Yeeter differential RD1

Time to start on the CR-Yeeter. Lets start with a "phantom grip"
hondaresource.com

[@7ThrillFishing]

I was reading a write up about the rear diff on the rd1. 08-11 Honda Element AWD you can do a direct swap on the rear diff, bolt on. It’s not lsd but from what I read the person said it awd system grabs a lot quicker and better.

[@hondaresource]

It does for sure. The clutch design is much better. I'm going to be pinning the clutches on this one and running a freelander viscous coupler

[@nobodynoone2500]

Any 08-11 honda with awd works. The element might be the most expensive one, i'd use the crv one. Cheaper and easier to find. Yes, they bolt right up.

[@BlessedVeteranAdventures]

I heard the same thing. They also put in the toyota shafts. Im thinking of doing the same. The thing is, is the shafts are hard to find since not many toys break down or in junk yard. Folks are selling em for about 2k. This is the same for the v coupler and clutch packs. Stuff gets ecpensive for sure.

The CRV table sure came in useful 😆

[@hondaresource]

Oh yeah, I have several that I use daily in my shop

[@FamspecPerformance]

I was going to test one in my channel, cant wait to see the results.

[@hondaresource]

Hopefully I'll be able to report some good info after I get a chance to test it

[@FamspecPerformance]

@@hondaresource do you have a link to the one you bought? it would be fun to both run tests.

[@garyphloyngam7148]

How are the testing results going?

[@awd_don]

So what’s the outcome? Is it holding up?

[@garyphloyngam7148]

Im wondering same thing 👀

[@alexs.5675]

Any updates?

[@jdmnuggets]

Nice one, looking forward to the results. Those rear axels are going to eat shit 😂👌

[@BrundenShenanigans]

Im running a 3rd gen crv diff in my 97 would the install process be the same and would I be ok running the stock drive line without pinning the clutches? With just the lsd installed?

[@18edits42]

Did you have a part number for the part you fitted to the diff? I can’t seem to find it for the rear diff. Thanks

[@hondaresource]

I'll try to get it. I know it was the same part as the front diff.

[@angelmorales7729]

Hey what’s up bro love the videos I was just wondering I have a 98 crv and was curious what are some symptoms my car would have with bad rear axles ?

[@panayiotisevo]

Hey buddy, some great content you got here. I was wondering if that phantom grip part works also withe the automatic transmission of the RD1 CRV. If yes, is it ok to use it without the landrover viscous drive shaft? And lastly, which model exactly must i get the drive shaft from

[@hondaresource]

Are you asking if it'll work in an auto rear diff?

[@cbagz8597]

Dang any link to the gen 3 crv ?

[@facetious_1]

Do they make any product like this for the honda element.

[@hondaresource]

It's the same thing

[@autarko]

Could one of these be put in the front too?

[@maneeoocho350]

So if I install the phantom Grip i don’t have to mess around with swapping the drive line? Drive line viscous swapping is only necessary when pinning or adding locking plates only correct?

[@hondaresource]

Correct

[@maneeoocho350]

@@hondaresource instead of using the phantom grip can I just weld the diff?

[@kraftyc7700]

how did this type of LSD work out? i have one sitting on my shelf, wondering if i should install it...

[@hondaresource]

So far so good, I can definitely tell a difference on the trails

[@АртурДумлер]

The Honda Resource, Hello, what kind of wheels do you have?

[@hondaresource]

Currently have rota grid, not sure what the wheels were in this video

[@АртурДумлер]

@@hondaresource ,Thanks for your answer! What are the maximum wheels put on the crv?

[@tyablo]

i wonder if this kit fits FIT's rear differential

[@hondaresource]

Fits have a rear diff?

[@tyablo]

@@hondaresource only JDM

[@hondaresource]

@@tyablo I had no idea

[@jackarmando]

Soo i have a heavy subwoofer in the back of my crv and because of that i have a lot of wheelspin at the front tires, any suggestions? Im kinda new to the awd system world. Thanks alreadyyy

[@hondaresource]

You could pin the rear diff and install a viscous coupler. Then the rear would actually spin when you press the gas rather than wait for the front to spin then engage

[@jackarmando]

@@hondaresource thank you!!!! 💯🙌

[@HaHo-y3j]

Is this the one that says it’s for the front diff? Don’t see the rear on the website.

[@hondaresource]

Front and rear are same

[@HaHo-y3j]

@@hondaresource ahhhh thank you

[@kindolive9528]

Will this phantom grip thing work with an automatic?

[@hondaresource]

Yeah

[@kindolive9528]

@@hondaresource sweet, gonna try it out

[@Pferrer24]

Is this working good with the oem shaft? Or you need to change it?

[@hondaresource]

I never used it with the oem shaft but it should work fine.

[@flowmotions109]

Do you recommend do his without pinning clutches? Thanks

[@hondaresource]

It'll work

[@k20909]

Did you still pin the clutches after doing this ?

[@hondaresource]

The clutches are pinned.

[@ty240sx]

Im curious how that ebay locker with work lol does it chirp the tires like a welded diff ? If so Ill pass but if not that's my next mod . thanks !

[@hondaresource]

I'll report back

Please do!

Can you do it to my Gen 2 CRV?

Yeah, not sure how effective it is just yet

[@CowboyDRT]

@@hondaresource keep me posted being that’s it’s front wheel drive “most” of the time. I would think it would come in handy if it works

[@nobodynoone2500]

Same basic diff, it will work as well as this one, which is not very.

[@hondaresource]

@@nobodynoone2500 they work pretty well with pinned clutches

Oh it gripped way harder than stock !

[@hondaresource]

For sure

[@lynncollinsworth6108]

Bad ass ❤

[@shamiah7861]

Update on this

[@hondaresource]

It served me well, but I swapped the whole diff about 3 months ago in favor of one with clutch locking plates rather than the pinned clutches. Just trying to smooth out some of the harmonics.

[@shamiah7861]

I was going to install one in the rear diff of my dc2 integra

[@UncleTriangle]

Nice work! Now Cody can do doughnuts instead of just smiling like a doughnut.

[@hondaresource]

😂😂😂😂

[@9blockperformance948]

I just did one the other day and thought the ring gear bolts were reversed threads but I was wrong.

[@9blockperformance948]

And it holding up with no issue, just over 500hp.

[@nobodynoone2500]

@@9blockperformance948 Still? Since 'the other day'? LMAO. Check your diff fluid for sparkles often.

[@hondaresource]

@@nobodynoone2500 I never had an issue with the crv diff in my AWD hatch. 900hp

[@nobodynoone2500]

Not worth the effort. If you wanna be ghetto just weld it. These cheap soft aluminum ripoffs just clog your diff with shavings in no time. Literally worse than doing nothing. But hopefully you will let that part be know in a couple months. RIP rear diff.

[@hondaresource]

I guess I'll find out. Diffs are cheap. In this case, free

[@kq2799]

How long is "no time"? 1K, 10K 100K? I don't think this CRV will be commuting an hour each way to work.

[@chris4710-s5q]

My question is the vibration

[@hondaresource]

What vibration?

[@chris4710-s5q]

I take it your not getting any from the lsd block

I haven't driven out of the yard to be honest.
