E153 LSD out of a 95' Mr2
My project 5s-gte (445whp) ran strong for almost 2000 km before i started getting a grinding in first gear... then i decided to shut some silly old man in his porsche 911 turbo up, happy to say he was no challenge.... downshifting back into first then rolling off on the next light... Well first became neutral.... And here's why:  Also managed to crack the casing... not sure which caused which  lack of fluid destroyed the gear OR the gear caused the leak and fried the trans completely.New project: E154F trans and caldina rear diff ..... i guess

Gen 3 E153 got weak synchros on 1st and 4th, Gen 2 E153 got weak synchros on 2nd and 5th
This problem can lead to wear on gears. My Gen3 E153LSD didn't work well with synthetic tranny oil, it grinded in 4th and the 1st was hard to get in So I changed it with pennzoil synchromesh and it is like a new tranny. Try that in your new tranny setup, this lighter oil is like magic and offer a good protection on bearings as well: change it every year because it's dino oil and not synthetic... You can also try to add a small cooler instead of the small recirculation hose in the base of the gearbox, which also help bearings a lot. |
