[Supras] Limited Slip problem? '88 Supra LSD N/A

[Jeff Mohler]

Sometimes you need more than the 5% default volume of it.

Also..put it in neutral..get under the car..can yo uturn the driveshaft and
SEE and feel/hear play in the pinion gear in the LSD?

Thats not uncommon on an older rear end, can make that clunk when shifting
as well, or when 'rubber banding' the drivetrain at 2mph in a parking
structure.

Ive seen more than one LSD with the passenger side bolt missing, or 1/2 out,
the one that goes in pointing UP towards the front of the LSD specifically.
