No snow, no ice, no salt, no wind, no driving rain.... the sun is shining, there are daffodils and a curlew.
Spring has sprung !!
I'm definitely taking the car out today.

Pulled the LSD out of the 996 GT3 as it requires a rebuild.
These water cooled cars are a real pain to get on axle stands.

Does it need the gearbox to be taken out or can you get it out with the box in place?johnM wrote:Pulled the LSD out of the 996 GT3 as it requires a rebuild.

You can get it out with the engine and gearbox in place. It’s a bit of a wrestling match put possible.gridgway wrote:Does it need the gearbox to be taken out or can you get it out with the box in place?johnM wrote:Pulled the LSD out of the 996 GT3 as it requires a rebuild.

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
So I split my GT3 LSD today to rebuild it with up rated Belville washers. The issue with these LSD’s is that they had very little pre load from the factory. The workshop manual states 5 to 15 Nm. Once the clutch plates wear a little you loose most of the pre load resulting in effectively an open diff. The break off torque on my diff was 2Nm. I could spin it with my hand.
The uprated Belville washers are thicker and the conical part is more pronounced.
All parts were then cleaned and laid out.
I’ve now reassemble the diff and the break off torque is 50Nm which is much better. Guard Transmissions sell a clutch kit which has a pre load break off torque of 60Nm so the car should be fine with this level of pre load in the diff.
You can buy a new updated clutch plate kit off Guard Transmissions in the USA but it’s expensive at £1500 plus fitting. I’ve been told that their is usually plenty of life left in the original clutch plates it’s just that it requires more pre load. So hopefully I should have a working LSD for £300 instead of £1500.

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
Finally bought new rubber, compromised on the size to get affordable solution but with a 2.2T it is over shod with 7’s and 8’s anyway. New rubber will work much better regardless . Now to use it lots ...

Hope so as I expect to take the 911 out myself in the sun early next week.
