Frank Bullitt Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) If you spin up the back tyres do you leave a number 11? Other way is to drain the oil and take the cover off.

Mkiv jdm Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 No I think it’s only one wheel it’s going out a bit but i don’t think it’s locking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Reviews Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Jack the back wheels up and turn one of the wheels, if the other wheel turns in the same direction, you have an LSD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Bullitt Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Ao1a �� I fear that means no ? No I think it’s only one wheel it’s going out a bit but i don’t think it’s locking It sounds that way. When you change your diff oil next service pop the rear cover off and look inside. Use the above photos as reference and you will know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo Reviews Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 The wheels on my LSD TT6 spin in the same direction. Though, the open diff on my single auto causes the back wheels to spin in opposite directions. Not really sure about other manufacturers or alternative types of differentials?

Mkiv jdm Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 Thanks for the reply’s Next free evening I’ll take casing of and get a look . It might be lack of low end power as I don’t think it’s going just 100% . After 5000 rpm it starts to pull but maybe I was expecting to much . Only I new owner btw loved toyotas all my days and finally got me a supra . Still chuffed with myself was liking the thought of some sideways action . Autos might not do it full stop ?

Mkiv jdm Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 There is a straight blitz system underneath and a leak at manifold so that might be causing less back pressure, compression etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC93 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Just opened a diff I have in the garage.. the shafts spin in opposite directions and it's a LSD core, I believe it's a A02B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Just to reinforce, its an LSD, Limited Slip Diff, not a proper locking diff, so depending on conditions you might only get a 1 wheel peel, or one and a bit of scrabbling from the other. A suffix means open diff, B means TorSen LSD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
