Re: Experience with OBX LSD...
I've used one in my ZC Tranny and now is getting swapped over to a Hyrdo Tranny. Just make sure you tighten everything down before installing. I thought I did, but I missed one, It backed out a tiny bit and when I pulled the tranny apart it was riding the housing.

Re: Experience with OBX LSD...
got about 5k miles on mine in a z6 tranny. love it. ive had the axles out and they dont stick...the only problem i had with mine was the bolts that go into the ring gear....the heads on the bolts needed to be ground down a little (the diameter of the head) cause they were hitting the housing and it was causing them to go in crooked. a few seconds with a bench grinder and they went in perfect.

$70 for new bearings, $18 for the speedo drive ring (I keep spares!) then when the bearings are pressed onto the OBX, you can compare overall width.
Using the measurements you get a real close number on which shim to use.
B16/B18 oil control ring, .5mm thick. The thinnest shim you can get from Honda is 1.0mm.

However, a limited slip is not part of a turbo kit, so I wouldn't have chosen the forced induction section. Just a thought.

Edit: You mean the shims on the oil ring on the piston? K
