VLSD Rebuild kit?
Does anyone know if there are any kits to rebuild VLSD diffs.
there are ton of aftermarket clutch kits geared for performance for thousands of dollars, but I'm looking for a stock rebuild kit. Don't need anything performance oriented, just simple stock clutch pack.
I'm assuming there are just pack of clutches in the VLSD that wear out with time. I got almost 200k on my car and I'd imagine that my VLSD is worn out. I'm thinking to do a swap from an 84k car, but still would not mind rebuilding it even with that millage.

Joker, you have a few options on this as long as the set up is for shims.
you can add thicker shims to put more pressure on the vlsd making it less sensitive when one wheel looses traction.
you can also from what i understand is buy a whole new vlsd, the manufacture of the actual vlsd doesnt sell single parts. thats not to say you cant source them. its just going to be much harder.
i miss the days of my 240sx, i had a torsion lsd in it and it was amazing. no clutches and it was smoothest most quiet diff ive ever had.
ive given up on the g35 diff, and im just going 2way.

well apparently I got a 3.3 open diff on mine. And I got a 3.5 VLSD from 07 MT coupe that I swap mine with.
I don't want to do the swap if VLSD turns out to be a chore in the maintenance.
I'm I correct to think that if VLSD clutch plate wear out it will act as an open diff?
What years have LSD. As far as I know in G35s options where either VLSD or open.
