i've heard of some diff guys putting more clutches in the diff instead of spacers between the clutches to get better LSD action, but by the time you do that it's more expensive than a locker anyway. everyone has a different story about this oil or that oil making there LSD work better, best you could do is try a good quality LSD oil like penrite or a synthetic. might help a bit, but probably not enough for you to be happy with the result.

i got told to make your LSD grip better you take that little plate off the back of the crown and sand the back of it for a while rough it up a bit but spoably if you go over board you can pretty much have a lock diff and thats not good for the tyres on the road

Even if you play with it to make it get better traction not long atfer it will start to fade again.
Toyota LSD`s are crapy. Keep your old centre and save for an air locker or buy a auto locker. Scrap the LSD

and it usually stays locked and a good way to bust an axle onroad too

This may be a bit of a stab in the dark but anyway: Will any other LSD fit in a lux (I'm meaning live axled ones). Either whole centre, or just the internals (eg: clutch plates). It seems that allot of people rate the Toyota LSD's as rather 'average', whilst the Nissan ones for example get reasonable reviews. I also reckon that some of the Dana LSD's are reasonable. I know its probably not worth the effort for most, but the lux I'm doing up still has the axles apart, so I'll be interested if anyone actually knows?
Also slightly related topic, I already have one LSD, if I get another LSD cheap enough, does a lux behav 'strangly', or hard on steerng with two LSDs. Obviously not using 4WD on sealed surfaces.
