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

when you say mechanical do you mean the clutch type lsd. if you look through the speed sensor hole near the speedo gear you should be able to see the clutch pack if it is a clutch type. the stock e153 lsd was a viscous type http://www.toyodiy.com/parts/diag_AEKXZC.png
