Does this fit on a 1996 sc300 5sp?


* I just found out it was from a 6sp... am I happy or sad?

Wanna say sad on two accounts. One that it's 6spd and two that it's helical.

Tough enough to find a complete 6 speed V160 diff for which they go above $1500. It will be tougher to find the pumpkin only. That is the only pumpkin you can use that LSD as far as I know. People take them out to install an aftermarket LSD like TRD. I hope you didn't pay much for that.

Man where are you finding 6spd complete pumpkins for $1500!? I cant find them less than $2400-2500.

Every now and then they come up for $1600-1800 on SF. Been watching them since I have a couple of 6 speeds cars. Decided to get a brand new one on the last one I got for the Black Pearl because of those current prices for used ones and have no idea how they were used. Brand New at the dealership will be at the price you stated. If you have a friend who works for the dealership, they can get you one with their discount.

As I mentioned in my previous post, tough to find and will always be above $1500 for used ones.

Coulda sworn I've seen the 6-spd LSD pumpkins listed for $300 + shipping on the facebook MKIV classifieds.

Well I have to say the seller was awesome. Even though I had paid for it within minutes of purchase, he was kind enough to cancel the ebay sale. So, if anyone needs a 6sp lsd, I am guessing he will be adding it back very soon.

You will find those 6 spd LSD for around $100-150 on SF because they kinda are useless just because finding the 6 speed pumpkin is next to impossible. I might be exaggerating but truly I have never seen a 6 speed pumpkin only, for sale in the past 5 years I have been watching them. Those LSDs are taken out so people can install after market LSDs

I guess I have too much time looking for deals . Every now and then you find them, just have to be patient. Two years ago I bought a brand new , never used or never filled with oil, 6 speed V160 differential for $1800 shipped on SF from lasvegasse I believe. So good deals pop out every now and then I would say.... stay vigilant cause they don't last long.

I swear I saw them for $300 with pumpkin, but maybe it was in a dream... It was a guy in Japan, so shipping probably would have been high.

Arent you the guy who just bought and SC and hated it???

DO MORE RESEARCH into the proper parts for your car. You cant just slap anything on and think it'll work. This forum is ripe with info about LSD's.

Theres a "Search" button on the blue strip at the top of the forum with a little down arrow, between "new posts" and "quick links". Click the arrow, click on "advanced search", select "sc300/400" in the search options and start searching keywords for literally all the infor\ you can handle about everthing to make your car better than most new cars on the road.

You might be right . Some people do not know the value of their stuff. But be careful that indeed it is a true 6 speed MKIV differential. I have also seen on ebay a diff with descriptions saying "from 6 speed MKIV but not LSD" .

There is also a difference between the JDM 6speed differentials that has a 200 ring gear and the USDM 6speed differentials that has a 220 ring gear. The JDM has a 3.26 gear ratio and the USDM which is much coveted, hard to find and for which they want an arm and a leg has a 3.13 gear ratio.

Those LSDs floating around that had been taken out from USDM diffs cannot be installed on JDM pumpkins. Since USDM pumpkins are hard to find , reason I said , it is kinda useless buying a USDM 6 speed LSD (internals only) . They have been taken out for a reason... replaced with an aftermarket one.

I had an offer to purchase a 6-speed LSD from a member without the case and after looking for the 6-speed housing and finding nothing I decided to pass, even though it was priced very nicely. I opted to spend a bit more and get the auto TT LSD.

I looked for the better part of a year to find a Supra TT Auto Torsen pumpkin. When they are listed on SF they will go FAST. You have to hunt the forums twice a day in hopes of scoring such a deal and that's assuming anyone is selling at the time you're looking. Prices are usually about a $1,000 ballpark so long as it is visually verified there is a Torsen in there.

The 6-speed LSD won't fit into anything other than a 220mm USDM/UK TT casing. MKIV owners tend not to like them above 500whp and that's usually why they get swapped out.

An alternative would be a $1,000 TRD 2-way LSD which is supposed to be very good even on the street. You have to get a driveline shop to install it and re-shim the differential.
