"The S series and C series transmissions share differentials:

The S51 (Camry, Solara), S53 (90-93 Celica), S54 (MR2, 93+ Celica), C56 (MR2 Spyder, Celica GT), and C59 (Corolla, Matrix, excl. XRS) all use the same differential. The MR2 Spyder's helical LSD WILL work in any of these transmissions. The differential part number is shared between these transmissions. Same part number = same part. The MR2 Spyder, however, was the only car to receive a factory LSD that is compatible with these transmissions. It should be exactly the same as the TRD Helical LSD that was discontinued for the S54.

This is great news, because now we have the option of choosing a less aggressive LSD for our transmissions."

what tools or machines are required to install an LSD? i have bearing pullers, gear and pulley pullers, a 20 ton press, and basic tools to be able to unmount and reinstall the transmission. i'm going to need a new clutch in a year or so and that would be a good time to put one in.
