Default Is this possible!

Had Ford replace gearbox and diff oil, now my LSD don't seem to work. Before when given some you could feel it work and wouldn't get much wheel spin. Now just smokes the crap out of 1 wheel. They claim they used LSD oil.

What he said ^^
Putting the wrong oil in usually results in chatter, squeal or other noises. Why did you have the oil changed? Spinning one wheel?

i had mine changed when i first got my car in january. before then it always span both wheels on left and right turns and straight line. got the oil changed (gave it a full service to be on the safe side) and it would spin one wheel when turning left, and both wheels turning right and straight lines.

now after 10 months and 32,000km's i am getting both wheels spinning all the time again. i suppose if they put the right oil in you just need to drive it more to thicken it up, not sure if its right but sounds good to me lol.

If they have screwed up and put the wrong oil in, would this have stuffed the plates?

The wrong oil wouldn"t turn a LSD into a one wheeler over night, it would make it chatter and clunk though . if it has gone to a one wheeler it has more serious problems

I have noticed a couple of times when doing a fairly tight turn, a chatter type sound/feeling come up through to body. Maybe it is just oil. If so can it be reversed, or is the damage been done?
