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

culp can you get straight thru pics through the axle holes also if you pull the speed sensor you should be able to see the lsd through that hole and get pics

I can do that, but they both look the same, they both have the rod going through the middle of the " hole " which validates what I found that, there was no hellical LSD made for these engines ( at least not by toyota ) so maybe they both have the same type of LSD, unless one of them is aftermarket, and there is so little info about LSD, and they being install doesn't help to identify them either lol.

I'm just gonna open the tranny and rebuild the LSD if if mechanical, if it's hellical just close it right back.

the scary part is that I'm serious
