Dosen't look like there were any spacers in the box I got delivered this morning. I will check it out when I get home tonight.

PL - good luck with getting it sorted.
Looks like I'll be using Iron Head's contact when I get round to it

I'm just glad the local Honda mechanics didn't have a go - they put the stock diff oil in PJL's new diff with the Spoon "proper" LSD - luckily it was our mechanic's first question when PJL phoned him after the dealsership had phoned PJL to say they daren't drive the car due to the LSD noise

I think perhaps not because provided you don't hit the rev limiter before going for third gear, the momentum of the car as it accelerates to 59 mph is probably going to push it over 60 befure you re-engage the clutch with third gear.
The momentum effect can only sustain your current speed, it can't apply more force by itself.
surely ?

Steven, I am right in thinking you ended up buying a 4.625 from Stocky? My spacer advice above is applicable to the 4.625 rather than 4.57 (or for that matter, the 4.44 and 4.77)

Same (I bought them both, got them cryogenically treated etc), hence the reason I'm guessing its the spacer which is the difference between his silent diff and my "noisy" (its only noticable with the roof up) diff.
