Jamesy Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 lift the back of the car and turn one wheel by hand , if its an lsd the other wheel should turn with it the same way, if the other wheel dosnt turn or if in gear goes the opposite way its not an lsd I jack up the car and spin the rear wheel on mine and the other goes the opposite way. I definately have an LSD. ??? ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 diff cool is prob for the diff cooler on euro spec cars. Get a quiet bit of road, rev it up dump the clutch in first and if you have two long lines of rubber then you have one. Jamesy, it's right there ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martini Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) Dont bite that hook too hard will you mate He keeps telling me how much he wants to steal my LSD! I knew he didn't find out about it by reading my VIN plate! That probably just confirmed it afterwards (For those of you wondering, I would recommend m_life (Martin) for work on your Supra, contrary to Mike's comments ) Edited November 11, 2009 by martini Recommending m_life to work on your Supra even though M5WTT might put you off :) (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martini Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Hard and fast of it - m_life will let you know if you have LSD or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 does anyone know the answer to this?? i tried this on my car last week when it was on a ramp, if i turned one back wheel clockwise the other side turned anticlockwise. does that mean it does or doesn't have LSD? The supra does not have an LSD in any model, what it does have is a Torsen diff, no clutches, so you cannot tell by spinning one wheel.

JustGav Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 The supra does not have an LSD in any model, what it does have is a Torsen diff, no clutches, so you cannot tell by spinning one wheel. hahaha, was waiting for that.. A torsen diff doesn't work the same way, so this jacking up and spinning lark doesn't apply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers John...so basically the only way to tell if you have LSD fitted is using Chiefgroover (and Scott's) method below.... Get a quiet bit of road, rev it up dump the clutch in first and if you have two long lines of rubber then you have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Cheers John...so basically the only way to tell if you have LSD fitted is using Chiefgroover (and Scott's) method below.... Or you can take the diff out the car and remove the rear cover and have a look.........................................I prefer the other method:eyebrows: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartan Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 If you will decide to open it. Pics LSD and Open one attached. And, just to be clear, the first thumbnail is open, the second is Torsen LSD. I believe you can also verify Torsen by looking through the drain hole (you can see the helical gears) if you have good eyes and have drained the oil first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
