Gingerman Raceway and Sport Package VLSD

The VLSD does OK when it's new and you haven't heated it up from spinning the inside tire and all that, but with that kind of use, the fluid will break down and it will become an open diff before long.

Very true... which is why my diff and trans are on a 15k fluid cycle.

That's great, but you can't change the fluid in the part of the diff that actually does the limited slip coupling.

cute, i changed my diff fluid in my VLSD equipped Z prior to every track day with redline 75w90. after the 6th track day, it basically became an open diff after 1 lap. once the viscous fluid that is sealed goes, there's nothing you can do

My VLSD goes dead after about 10 minutes on the track. Hoping to get a new diff in the fall IF I can get the money manager's OK on it.
