Hi,

Ok I've had my Impreza a couple of weeks now and it has a prodrive plated limited slip diff in the gearbox (6 speed box)....I've yet to have the car on the track so maybe there brilliant I don't know..
What I do know is the constant clunking when I'm driving slowly is starting to get annoying and embarrassing

Are they really worth it or shall i get it replaced with a standard front diff?

Plated diffs are really best used on track, on road cars they are annoying. If the car is used predominantly as a road car you will see little benefit from it but lots of annoyance.

The oil you use makes a big difference to the clunking

I'ma ssuming you have a dccd box - in which case don't drive slowly with it locked up at all. Leave it fully open in manual in you have dccd a or just fully open if an ordinary dccd. My 6 speed dccd with a plated rear diff lives fully open 90% of the time and makes no noise. I only lock it a little bit if it's greasy or raining heavily, and would only lock it fully for something like getting going in snow or whatever.

The noise won't cause any harm but it is annoying.

Hi,

No the box is a six speed but has no dccd, its been fitted with a pro-drive plated diff so not alot i can do with it..

Just spoke to the previous owner and he assures me that when i get it on the track i will forgive all the clunking when running around in it each day...Will wait and see
