Afaik spinning the wheels is not an accurate test for LSD. I agree with you. QUOTE ST205 is said to have torsen rear and central viscous, nothing up front. As did the ST185RC. All ST185 models had center Viscous Coupling and optional equipment Torsen Rear. QUOTE I know there's nothing upfront because I'm told I need gearbox fluid WITHOUT friction modifier for lsd. Correct. ![]() |

more : http://www.mr2.com/forums/turbo-3s-gte/Toy...tification.html QUOTE Looking for the bar through the axle hole will verify if it's an LSD tranny or not. Bar = LSD. No bar = No LSD more: http://www.toymods.net//forums/showthread.php?t=8949 QUOTE The standard factory LSD has a cros bar through the centre of it. If you pull the stubs of the axles out of the box you'll either see a nice round hole straight through or a bar going across the hole. The standard LSD's are viscous couplings so they don't lock if you just turn one axle by hand. CONTRADICTS - QUOTE The crossbar doesn't indicate an LSD is present, atleast in an S series box. If you go down to your local toyota wrecker and have a look around you'll see that all of the S boxes have that cross bar no matter what car they're from. Not sure if the same applies to the E series boxes. That last is possibly the most important. ^^ |

Seems like SW20 MR2 had an exception to this rule. Other 'interesting' quotes from today's emails / research: "The SW20 LSDs have a bar also. We checked this one and it spins like a LSD." (in reference to BEAMS for sale) "Physically check as in putting the axle and turning one axle and the other side turn. The axle hole has a bar/slab metal, if there is non, its either a viscous lsd or aftermarket. The swap is from a SS-III" ^^ So.. yeah, dunno.. lol.. but hopefully will know before purchase, eh? |

do a quick search- most people check for LSD by rotating axles/wheels or by visual check through the hole. No bar? LSD Bar? no LSD This was pretty much what I believed to be the case 100%. but, now maybe the VC LSD are bar???! |

So your BEAMS has no bar in the S54? But, you believe it has LSD.. wow.. perhaps you are lucky and have gotten a TRD (Cusco) Clutch Type (mech./ salisbury) LSD. BONUS! ![]() I know for a fact, that clutch type LSD don't have a bar.. I just picked on up for the ZZT-231. The open diff on the C64 (Celica GT-S trans) has a bar. This must have something to do with the type of LSD. Let's keep this going! |

And Just to throw you off even more, the GT-Four does NOT have a front LSD - It has a viscous central coupling and a TORSEN rear diff. JDM GT-Four E154F -08B ![]() OT: (but possibly interesting) While the GT-Four did not have a factory front LSD option, TRD units were available and were quite expensive due to the size of the housing. My friend purchased the last two in existence a few years back for a pro Rally team. Years ago they were $3000+.. the last few sold for quite a pretty penny. (I own several Celica including GT-Four , ST185 x 2 and ST185 RC) ![]() BTW, rear Torsen was NOT std equipment on all GT-Four. ST185RC - > ST205 did however. Earlier models were optional. Early ST165 didn't even have Viscous centers.. Great info in this thread - keep it coming! ![]() |

Thanks for the quick replies. From what I understood.. the bar was a clear indication of an open diff. However, I now have two importers telling me that isn't the case with this trans/diff / lsd type. I do know that all SS-III w/ BEAMS are supposed to be LSD. Thoughts? |

apologies for bumping an older thread- I have recently come across a BEAMS & S54 for sale and it has a chassis tag. Both ZF (SSIII) and 06D appear on the tag. However, under visual inspection through the axle hole in the trans, there is a bar. This is usual indicative of an open diff. Thoughts? |

OT: 2ZZ (duzzy) are great motors. I was able to extract 40 additional whp and incredible mid range from Power FC tuning , PPE header, etc. Best of all was the engine was left unopened. (2001 ZZT-231 GT-S) I believe you will be satisfied with the BEAMS in the car. ![]() Nice Lotus! ![]() Yeh the 2zz is freaking awesome but being that they are a little pricey I will stick with the BEAMs for now. Hopefully this Celica body will hold up. No worries; I'm sure you'll love the BEAMS setup in the GT. Do most of the S54 transmissions have LSD? Or is it just hit and miss? Out of three motors I found locally, only 1 had confirmed LSD. The others "weren't sure". And there was no door tag to inspect. I guess I could always just physically look. But, for motors out of state, that's a bit difficult. |
