mcd lsd

[mcdracerunner]

right lads got an evo 3 and also got an lsd for the front now when i have gone to fit it the diff output shafts are longer causing the drive shafts to be very very tight in the cups no movement at all i have had the diffs next to each other and the new lsd is about 1.5mm longer on each end has anybody fitted a lsd and had the same problem

here is a pic of the std diff smaller one and the lsd

Have you had a chance to try out the new diff? Also do you know if the lsd will fit in pre evo 3 models? Well if I do get one I now know I might have to grind the output shafts a little, thanks for the heads up.

Plenty of knowledgable MCD owners over at www.MCDRC.COM that can help you out.

I installed mine today with no issues. My output shafts were the same length at the old diff so not sure why yours was the way it was.

is it possible that was lsd for evo 2 cars, as they had shorter arms, thus shorter driveshafts, wheres as the evo 3 has longer wishbones so shorter diff outputs. jus an idea...

Well I did pick up the LSD and installed it in a pre EVO Baja 1000 and I also had to grind down the output shafts. The shafts were sticking to far into the drive cups and I had the same problem as mcdracerunner, the drive shafts were too tight.
