How to Install Carbon Fiber Clutches (Rebuild Limited Slip Differential) - Summary

Summary

Here is a possible concise summary of the text:

The text is a transcript of a video tutorial on how to rebuild a limited slip differential and install carbon fiber clutches for better traction and performance. The narrator explains the benefits of having a limited slip differential, how to identify if the car has one, and how to replace the worn out clutches with new ones. He also shows how to install a new diff cover, fill the diff with gear oil, and break in the clutches. He demonstrates the results by doing a burnout on the track and spinning both tires. He provides links to the products and tools he uses in the description.

Facts

Here are the key facts extracted from the text:

1. ChrisFix is demonstrating how to rebuild a limited slip differential and install carbon fiber clutches.
2. The clutches engage to send power to both wheels for better acceleration and handling.
3. A new finned aluminum diff cover is being installed for better cooling.
4. The diff cover has a drain bolt and fill bolt for easy fluid changes.
5. ChrisFix decided to rebuild the differential after experiencing inconsistent performance while drifting and a "one wheel peel" at the drag strip.
6. Rebuilding a limited slip differential is beneficial for any car that might lose traction, not just track cars.
7. To determine if a car has a limited slip differential, one can look for a tag on the rear differential or use a VIN decoder.
8. The rebuilding process involves soaking new clutches in friction modifier, removing brake calipers, and sliding out axles.
9. The differential rebuild does not require removing the carrier assembly.
10. Carbon fiber clutches replace old stock clutches, which are measured for wear using a caliper.
11. The differential fluid is drained, and the diff cover is removed to access the internal components.
12. Spider gears and side gears are removed to replace the clutches.
13. A vise or C-clamp can be used to compress an S-spring for installation.
14. Differential fluid is refilled with synthetic gear oil and friction modifier using a pump for easy application.
15. After reassembly, it's recommended to drive around 100 miles regularly before testing the performance on track.

These facts summarize the main points of the document regarding the process of rebuilding a limited slip differential and installing new clutches.
