J.C 10 Posted June 24, 2013 Hi all Just puting in a 02J box code FBK, it's still attached to the engine, when I turned one drive cup the other drive cup turned in the SAME direction not opposite like I expected it to, I did some research and read that some MK4 box's had factory LSD as an option, according to a Ford site if the drive cups spin the same way then a LSD is inside, http://www.auto-tat.co.uk/Escort%20Upgrades/Chapters/Transmission/Transmission%20Index.htm does anyone know if this is true, could I have landed a LSD gearbox Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J.C 10 Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) you've got a v5 gearbox - it's also unlikely that you've got an led - turn the flywheel, if they both turn together, then it's a lsd I'd have thought turning the flywheel would cause the wheels to rotate regardles of what type of diff is in there edit, I think I know what you mean, Edited June 25, 2013 by J.C Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dox 23 Posted June 25, 2013 Hold the input shaft stationary whilst you turn the drive cup (ie replicate the same set up as if the gearbox was in the car with the engine off) and repeat your test Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J.C 10 Posted June 25, 2013 Hold the input shaft stationary whilst you turn the drive cup (ie replicate the same set up as if the gearbox was in the car with the engine off) and repeat your test I never separated the box and engine, we were putting in a 24v engine/gearbox combo which I got off a fellow forum member, I just remembered turning the drive cup and seeing the other cup go in the same direction, I didn't pay too much attention as we were having a nightmare with the mounts, I'm going there tonight, so if I get a chance I'll jack it up and have another look Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 25, 2013 O2Js have a partial lock of the output flanges like the 020 used to have. 02A and 02M don't. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrahamU 6 Posted June 25, 2013 I have a box from a mk6 golf on mine and thought the same as the drive cups turned the same way. But when I fitted it and had the driveshafts on I noticed they turned opposite ways when turned, was gutted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
