Hellical or mechanical ?, how to tell.. Options

[Culpable04]

I have trannies with LSD's I'm only keeping one, the issue is, one is a mechanical TRD LSD and the other is a hellical TRD LSD.

of course the guy who got them for me, didn't mark them down, so I don't know which one is which.

I want to keep the hellical as is maintance free, oppose to the mechanical that uses clutches.

if you have any idea of how to identify each without taking the engine apart, please share the acknowledge.

almost forgot,

these are E series trannies

[Culpable04]

the part number for mechanical LSD that fits the E series tranny are


41301-SW202
41301-SW211

they are both discontinued

TRD LSD Oil
A0420-A0000 ( this is the one recommended for FF, there is a different one for FR )

rebuild parts are still available in Japan

Shim 40101-SW201
Repair kit 40107-AW111


also when I say E series trannies, I mean

E153, E51, E58

even tho these transmission are bolted to

3sgte, V6 and 4agze engines they all use the same LSD diffetential, and unless I missed something on my research ( just now ) there was no hellical LSD made for these transmission, which sucks as it means that I have to order a rebuild kit ( ~ 200 shipped ) in order to trust such LSD.
