Hi, does anyone have an opinion about this? One mechanic I spoke to said it's highly probable that the grinding sound I hear for the first couple of minutes of driving the car (the sound then dissipates after a couple of minutes) means that the LSD needs to be replaced.
Another said it MIGHT need to be replaced, but changing the diff oil might solve the problem.
We're talking about a 1989 Toyota Cressida, with about 120,000/miles.
Neither of the mechs actually physically inspected the diff, but they both DO know my car rather well. I'm just not sure why one is so sure it needs to be replaced. Maybe it's based on the expected lifespan of this part?
Thanksya for any ideas.
