Lotus Service Notes
5. For cars fitted with a limited slip differential, note the following:
- Apart from the taper roller bearings supporting the differential assembly in the transmission case, the unit
is not serviceable.
- The tightening torque of the bolts securing the final drive gear to the differential assembly = 101 Nm (Std.
diff. = 77 Nm).
- When setting the differential bearing preload (see page 41-28 in Toyota manual D120T0327J) note that a
different procedure must be used due to the construction of the LSD. Instead of fitting only the differential
assembly into the transaxle/transmission case, and then measuring the turning torque directly at the dif-
ferential, LSD versions require that the differential and output shaft be assembled into the casings, and
the turning torque measured by using a torque wrench (27mm socket) on the end of the output shaft.
- Bearing preload (at starting):
New bearings: 0.17 - 0.35 Nm (1.7 - 3.6 kgf.cm)
Used bearings: 0.11 - 0.22 Nm (1.1 - 2.2 kgf.cm)
- Adjustments are made as for non-LSD.
- There is no special oil requirement for the LSD.
