Anyone know if 2G TSX models have limited slip differentials? I've never seen it mentioned in the trade mags or the product literature. But it would seem logical that the V6 and TLs would have one to help tame the torque steer.

I had an 02 TL S-Type that didn't have one and the torque steer was nasty. And then they came out with an LSD for the CL Coupe S-Type in 03 which was essentially the same drive train as the TL. I drove one and it made a world of difference.

 

I have been trying to find a suitable aftermarket or oem piece for the cu2 chassis. The 2.4L uses a 14 bolt ring gear, while the other K series use a 12 bolt.

Hopefully the 2012 Civic SI has the same 14 bolt ring gear, if so, we should be able to have a LSD in the very near future. It has an LSD from OEM, or hopefully we will have some aftermarket options soon.

 

Look to the new Civic Si for assistance on this.

 

We have a regular open diff.

 

Anyone try the wavetrac lsd???

 

the 3rd gen TL's received LSD's in their manual trannies ONLY.

 

On hondanews.com
there is NO mention of LSD any where on the TSX. even in the MT version of the I4. NO LSD

 

you should be able to grab it from the '12 si...the gearing is exactly the same so the transmission could be identical.

 

no lsd on tsx. you can try to retrofit it from si or the rsx.

 

Looks like there might be hope?! (Control+F "LSD)

Unless you are tracking it, you shouldn't really worry about an LSD, especially since we aren't even breaking 200 ft/lbs of torque, when you get into the srt neons, mazdaspeeds, and FWD cars with upwards of 250+ tq and HP your concern for torquesteer would be more present.

not to mention it is a very time/labor intensive job to do on our vehicles.

 

turbo 350-450 whp will need lsd or one tire fryer

 

sure, but since you have the engine bay torn apart for the turbo install, doing the LSD will be a LITTLE less of a headache lol..

plus I think I can count on one hand how many turbo 2G TSX there are

 

That's what I'm going to do. While the transmission is off for the clutch and flywheel I'm going to have them put in the LSD, and we'll find out what all is needed to make it work.

 

check your syncros and clean the tranny case while it's open, I also strongly advise a wirewheel to remove the old hondabond from where the case splits. Clean, prep, and generously apply new hondabond, also check your throwout bearing, they are pretty darn inexpensive from Acura to replace.

Lastly I would recommend skunk2 magnetic drain plug, I have almost 80k miles on my setup without any issues after doing all of the above

 

Good suggestions. I do have a magnetic oil plug that is in my glove box, waiting to go in.

I am having a local shop do the work, but I will definitely ask they perform case clean up before reassembly.

Hopefully all I need is the 10 bolt ring gear and bolts. We'll soon see.

My flywheel, clutch and ring gear just showed up today.

 

Personally, I would never do LSD then drive my TSX. I've put way too much work into my car to accidentally crash it into something while high.

 

^^ Class.... Prestige.... Scholarly....

For those not in the know, we are talking about a limited slip differential.

Don't do drugs kids. They are bad.

 

lol smells like troll

 

hahaha this made my day. Trips, that's what they call it. LOL

 

No troll, funny sob though, we could use a little of this here
