I just got a e153 transmission from a mr2 with axles. The guy who sold it to me didnt know.because he never installed in his car. I cam tell is not a factory lsd because it doesnt have the bar across the hole. But could be a trd? Or it simply doesnt have lsd? The axles are not lsd nether.
From what it seems is not a lsd but just want to make sure, and i see that this tranny has been open before becaise it doesnt have the factory seal and it might have an after market lsd?? Btw i paid 450 for it with the axels good deal or not? Im just hoping is a lsd lol ![]() It has these #s this should tell the year it was made right? ![]() ![]() This post has been edited by diegohiga: Jan 5, 2012 - 4:05 PM -------------------- ![]() |

I believe you have a non-LSD. Little hard to tell from that angle but this is a TRD LSD:
Note the smaller internal hole. However $450 including axles isn't a bad price. Complete axles alone are worth $150-200 for the set. Bonus points if it's a 93+ tranny as it has upgraded synchros. |

thats a non lsd diff You say that because of the hole? In the picture above looks like the trd hole diameter is little smaller. -------------------- ![]() |

i have the oem diff, there is a bar going across, the TRD diff im unsure of, but i know how much of a pita it is to tear the transmission and replace the diff, i would double check if i was you

I guess im gonna have to open it and check Thanks Btw... I cant use the axels to find out? Turning one to one direction and see the other one turns the same way or something like that?

Thats a non-lsd trans. My old e153 looked exactly the same. Too big to be trd.
