Any one have a clue on if there is any LSD that will fit in the A246E?, LSD for the ST auto? Options

ok, ok.. for real now.. i dont want to here any mess about "just swap to a manual".. i have many reasons for keeping the car an auto.. my car is finally back on the road, and wrapping up phase one of my project. and in preparation for phase four of the project i am starting this thread to investigate the possibility of getting an LSD for the ST Auto trans. seeing as there are SOOOOOO many parts that are shared in the Toyota transitions. i am hoping that one of the many trans series' LSD's will fit in the A246E or perhaps from another trans.. the load will be light(ish) and the cooling system that i am building up for my auto will be perfect for one of the lighter multi-disk type LSD's over one of the more expensive gear type LSD's (like quafes ATB), so i would prefer a multi-disk type.. (if i have a choice)

the car will be turbo'ed DD, and week end Auto-x'er.. so the need for the additional grip will be needed.

has any one worked with this trans or ever tried to mess with it at all? or even had it apart and able t compare internals? any help and constructive input would be greatly appreciated.

oh!! yeah.. lol... was not familiar with that term for locking up the diff..

yeah, i have a feeling that i will be needing to get a spare trans.. crack it open, and take actual measurements and compare to other diff's.. i have my hopes up though, since the axles (and in turn inner splines) are the same as the manual ST trans.. and the manual trans shares parts with the IIRC 1zz/2zz trans (on the clutch side) and seeing those similarities (though will not be able to see until i get the parts side by side.) it is my hopes that the 2zz LSD (option on MR-S) will fit this trans.. and IIRC it is a disk/clutch type LSD.. assuming that all of that is correct and true, then that would be AWESOME!!!!

and again the whole point is that the car will continue to be a weekend auto-x car, and after the turbo, the need for proper traction will defiantly be needed. my goal is just under triple the stock HP.. and other than getting some nice rubber on 8.5inch wide rims.. the need for power/traction to both wheels will be needed..
