I'm in the market for an e-153 lsd transmission. After doing some searching on this site, and some searching on the web I've gotten myself confused. I've heard a lot of members say that they preferred the e-153 out of the Solara due to the newer better bearings, but after searching around online it came to my attention that the Solara's were not available with the limited slip, and that i would have to buy the LSD separate and install it. Is this true? What about the v6 camry? Is that non-lsd as well? It would be pointless for me to go through all of this conversion crap just to get a non-lsd transmission.

if you get a factory LSD its MUCH harder to source axles as lsd takes special ones (mr2 turbo LSD axles, only place i found em is used or from the dealer...).

the TRD and aftermarket lsd use regular mr2 turbo inners


but unless your over or planning to be over 300 hp i wouldnt worry about it... the S54 cand take it
