More Grip with a Limited Slip Differential

I decided to upgrade the differential in my 2000 Integra Type R. I ended up with a Wavetrac unit that I really love. In this video I show you how to install a limited slip differential into a Honda B series transmission. This can also be used as a general guide for the disassembly of other Honda manual transmissions. The video includes torque specs, the description below has parts and tool links.

He's back 🎉

[@souldrinker7008]

Hi Eric, so good to see you back! I've recently achieved qualified light vehicle technician status over here in the UK since you've been away, and am currently training on hybrid/EV technology. This is something I did in large part because you inspired me, so thanks for all those videos and looking forward to future ones. :)

[@ericthecarguy]

That's fantastic! Good luck with your career.

When I manual-swapped my 1998 S70 T5 a few years ago, I installed a Quaiffe limited-slip differential. It made a significant different in the amount of power transferred to the road, especially in wet conditions. I also own a 2007 Acura TL Type S, but it's an automatic; the manual-trans Type S did come with a factory-equipped limited slip differential, but the automatic did not.

[@mikeybhoutex]

Before I even watch the video... GOOD TO SEE YOU, Sir! Now... let's watch! 👍

Finally He's Back😍 Hopefully we will get more videos from Eric👍👍👍

[@mohavie2360]

holy cow, Eric..i want to say THANK YOU for all these years for helping us out with tons of info about fixing our cars. i have to say its been a very long min that i have seen one of ur vids and boy u look super different with the facial hair sir. i was watching another video from DailyDrivenExotics for the first time about something and i thought one of the guys from that vid was you driving in their Lambo:).. i thought u made it big time rich and was excited for u. anyways, i want to sincerely tell u thank you for all that knowledge brother. keep up the great work Mr Eric... at this point, i view u like an uncle that everyone go to when needed help with their car.

Thanks for the upload CarGuy... let's me know you are okay. I am eager for you to get settled enough to start churning out the videos more regularly.... maybe not to the volume you had before, but something that allows you to achieve the balance you are looking for. I'll probably never do a differential like this... but it was fun to watch, like most of what you do. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@jackc5293]

First video in awhile and I have firsthand experience with this job 😄 Given how much headache I had when replacing the bearings in my GSR transmission, I kind of wish I spent the money on an LSD. I broke the case and bent the plate of the shift mechanism of the transmission doing what you did, tightening down bolts because the dowel of the shift mechanism doesn't sit perfectly flat on its own so the other end wasn't notching into the case. After that $400 dollar disaster and figuring out I could use a Flathead to press down on the flat plate that the rod sits in to get it to sit straight up, then the case went right down. The differential bearings were also a trip, one came off with some heat and nothing more than my gloved hand lifting it up, The other I had to cut off because even the bearing puller wasn't moving it past the point where the chisel could get it to. Also those detent springs can be replaced / upgraded for a firmer shift feel, FYI.

[@teardowndan5364]

How to stop the ring gear from spinning while torquing the bolts: put a wrench on a nut across the bearing for leverage and blocking counter-rotation.

[@HouseCallAutoRepair]

Looks like the same transmission I rebuilt in a Maxima.. It destroyed an input bearing due to missing alignment dowels!

[@LionWithTheLamb]

I had two basically identical vehicles and one had a LSD and one didn't. There was a huge difference in the traction especially in gravel, dirt, rain, etc.
