Installing S1 clutch locking plates on a Honda CRV / Element Rear Diff

[@ElReySupr3me]

Looks like its an 07+ crv rear differential. I remember reading that those have a spring to help the rear differential to activate faster.

[@LatinoAD]

Ive shared this video to some buddies going awd with a crv diff that don't have access to a welder or can't Weld papi.

[@hondaresource]

heck yeah, I appreciate it papi!

[@jsimmons3090]

Big Congratulations on pending sale if the green dragon, hope the sell goes through!!

[@hondaresource]

The deposit came though. Sound be leaving first week of December

[@jsimmons3090]

That's is awesome congratulations!!!

[@phaxiong95]

So photo, my rear 4 bolts broken if I unscrew the big knot, I should be able use different differential with the 4 bolts

[@ΚωσταντινοςΚακκος]

Hi my friend those plates are good off road there are like rear locker 100% or just they are more quikly for the awd system to the front on the back

[@hondaresource]

It makes it to where you have actual AWD and not just FWD until the front slips.

[@ΚωσταντινοςΚακκος]

@@hondaresource i have a honda hrv and i want to buy an lsd diff for the back.. do you know if there is something to buy ......

[@chaseprisniak8719]

Hey man I have a 2000 crv 5 speed and I just can’t find out why it idles so high when warm will sit about 1100 at a feat stop but if it is cold or I am just driving and put my clutch in it will go 2500-4000k rpm I have done idle control and throttle body

[@hondaresource]

is your throttle cable in good condition? I've seen some stick in the past.

Another use for the CRV picnic table

[@devincrawford1646]

How does it lock it when there is still a clutch plate after installing the "locking plates"

[@ForgotToMentionThat]

Any videos of this vehicle off-roading with this modification?

[@hondaresource]

My CR-V has essentially the same thing.

[@2.0bugeye]

Do those clutch locks fit in first generation CRVs bc my clutches are slipping and if so where do I get one from

[@hondaresource]

They do. s1built.com

[@2.0bugeye]

@@hondaresource thanks

[@2.0bugeye]

Question 99/01 crv diff an 2002 an up crv share the same rear axel’s

[@hondaresource]

No, different lengths

[@AdventureOutintheWildreness]

How is it holding up? I'm curious on the long term. I want to do it on my 2008 Element for offroading shenanigans and it's also my daily.

[@hondaresource]

I don't even know if the car I did these for is even on the road yet

[@GabrielOrtizUAP]

So does the top oil line/hose have to be capped off on the 07-11 Crv rear diffs?

[@Jason-nk4yr]

Always love the content, super appreciate the struggle. So many other KZbin videos, just like poof and it's installed. Or..or the one handed clip removal... so many times... two hands sometimes a screwdriver... and you still break the stupid clip.

[@ricardomartins4042]

I bought a s1 built crv rear diff with locking plates, what gear oil do I use.

[@hondaresource]

75w90 is fine

[@mybrotherscout3661]

There are so many FWD RD1's I see driving around but not so many AWD's. When I'm at the salvage yard and I see AWD differentials I think about snatching them up but I don't know what all I would need to convert a FWD, if its cost effective, or if I really want to get into that. I just hate knowing they are going to get smashed. My RD1 was supposed to get me to the range and back, now I've fallen down the Honda rabbit hole and all I want is more Honda's.

[@hondaresource]

I'm assuming yours is fwd auto?

[@mybrotherscout3661]

No, mine is AWD. I'm thinking about buying another RD1 and converting it from FWD to AWD just to learn how to do it, if it's not going to cost too much.

[@Schnippen_Schnappen1]

So this makes it mostly RWD OR full time AWD? How’s the tire chirping on tight corners from being 4WD or 3WD? I’m confused 🤔

[@hondaresource]

This will make it true AWD but you will need a viscous coupler

[@nicholashaddad8659]

If I have an rd1 diff can I put these locking plates in my awd crv ('01) and have full time awd or I guess in this case 4wd? It will be connected to my 5 speed trans.

[@hondaresource]

yes. You will need a viscous coupler though.

[@johnnyplurlife]

What's up bro was reading the comments and was wondering why would you need a viscous coupler if the RD1s come with one stock?

[@hondaresource]

Rd1 doesn't have a viscous. The rear had a clutch pack, now you eliminated that. The viscous allows some slip when turning and compensates for difference in gear ratios.

[@johnnyplurlife]

@The Honda Resource ahh I see ok bro thank you for the input!

[@miguelangelochoa7766]

estas loco vato amo ese projecto

[@vandall2518]

What do these plates lock and how?

[@hondaresource]

it bypasses the clutches and dual pump system that comes factory inside the diff to make it full time awd.

[@vandall2518]

@@hondaresource ok, great. Thank you. Does it make it harder to turn on the street/highway?

[@Vaatzes]

I've got an 07-11 CRV diff waiting to go in my RD1. Is something like this a worthwhile upgrade for off-road or is it more performance/track oriented?

[@hondaresource]

Installing lock plates will also require a viscous coupler

[@BlessedVeteranAdventures]

@@hondaresource Do you have a video of the viscous coupler install as well? I was looking at beefy builts page and his crv is a monster. wondering if im going to have to get new drive shafts as well.

[@hondaresource]

@@BlessedVeteranAdventures not on a crv, although I'm going to be putting a freelander vc in my crv at some point soon and it'll be filmed

[@BlessedVeteranAdventures]

@@hondaresource Cool cant wait to see how you do it. He was saying the same thing with the freelander. He had to get custom plates to hook up to the trans and diff as well. i guess the shafts werent long enough or its to fit a b20 with the shafts. im thinking so it can fit nicely. Ive learned alot from the crv community.

[@mostwantedmali4677]

Hey bro, I just got a po730 gear ratio code on my rd1 cr-v. My most recent mod was a upgraded differential from a 2009 or 2011 crv. This was about a week ago. After the swap my V was driving great. It was hooking beter than it ever did. Now it's kind of stuttering to shift and jumping. All this started today with code. Do you have any ideas on what it might be or something I should try? Really appreciate any help or advice. My V is automatic btw.

[@hondaresource]

I don't think it has anything to do with your rear diff. How long has it been since you serviced the trans?

[@mostwantedmali4677]

I bought it almost a year ago. With 200,000 miles. I put new fluid in it a little bit after I got it. Was struggling to shift gears before. After I swapped out the fluid ran great, until now.

[@mostwantedmali4677]

@@hondaresource today I put all new honda oem atf and erased the code. Took it for a drive, and the code came back. Removed the solenoid on top to see if it was dirty, but it was clean. It sounds like its staying in one gear now.

S1 Built is Legend💪

[@hondaresource]

His products are legit!

[@trawk244]

Good info! I'll be installing my plates in crv diff when I have time..using freelander DS and VC

[@hondaresource]

Heck yeah🤟

[@kip6006]

Do not forget to put gear oil in that!

For sure. Went to get some this morning from Walmart but they didn't have any 🙄
