Honda B Series Limited Slip Differential Install (Extremely Satisfying)

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

[@jamesthompson9313]

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

[@470whp-deathtrap]

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.

[@savethecivic96]

@@boosted_john I forget John what happened to it?

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@BrokenMarnie]

I love the b series stuff I’m really considering getting my own

[@boosted_john]

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

[@BrokenMarnie]

@@boosted_john a stock 08 civic 😭it’s my first car it’s not great but it gets me places

[@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!

[@joefigueroa7713]

Great video. Although if anyone is watching do not spin a hot bearing. Its can make flat spots on the balls and prolong the life of the bearing.

[@danieleremchuk7332]

Keep killing it my dude!!

[@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 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@JorgeTorres-is7bv]

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

[@kearneyalmond1492]

This makes me happy! Proud of you bae! Turbo civic-I’m looking forward to seeing you😍

[@boosted_john]

😘

[@jokrkillah]

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 😅

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

It’s so shiny and new! Nice! LY 😘

[@boosted_john]

Haha thanks mom. Love you too ☺️

[@shawnward6916]

Did you have to do anything for proper bearing preload?

[@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 😭😭

[@Ekxanny]

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

[@hussainmaster5002]

Hell ya! Boosted's back!

[@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.

[@noahkicks6874]

This looks very intimidating

[@ryansmith2814]

Im wondering how this diff held up without shimming it

[@johnstevens7049]

That WAS satisfying

[@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

[@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

[@ericcarrington9643]

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

[@SELF19881]

Great video! You made it look simple 🤣🤣

[@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.

[@B20Sancho]

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

[@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.

[@allstat1290]

Let’s go boys!

[@TH3MOB1]

Great Video Man! Turbo Noll

[@13geeky]

So excited, give it the beeansss

[@landoski]

Didnt check difference clearance/play?

[@boosted_john]

I did off camera and it seems to be perfect.

[@efraindiaz1867]

What is that tool called lmk asap

[@drewstermalloy]

Watching you work on that table stresses me out lol.

[@boosted_john]

Lol working on that table stresses me out 😂

[@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…

[@shaday1759]

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

No loc tite in the ring gear bolts ?
