I just got a e153 transmission from a mr2 with axles. The guy who sold it to me didnt know.because he never installed in his car. I cam tell is not a factory lsd because it doesnt have the bar across the hole. But could be a trd? Or it simply doesnt have lsd? The axles are not lsd nether.
From what it seems is not a lsd but just want to make sure, and i see that this tranny has been open before becaise it doesnt have the factory seal and it might have an after market lsd??
Btw i paid 450 for it with the axels good deal or not? Im just hoping is a lsd lol

It has these #s this should tell the year it was made right?

Haha yeah i was posting it with my phone and its hard haha

I believe you have a non-LSD. Little hard to tell from that angle but this is a TRD LSD:


Note the smaller internal hole.

However $450 including axles isn't a bad price. Complete axles alone are worth $150-200 for the set. Bonus points if it's a 93+ tranny as it has upgraded synchros.

thats a non lsd diff

You say that because of the hole? In the picture above looks like the trd hole diameter is little smaller.

i have the oem diff, there is a bar going across, the TRD diff im unsure of, but i know how much of a pita it is to tear the transmission and replace the diff, i would double check if i was you

yeeah the 93+ LSD has a bar in the middle of it. now that could be an older TRD LSD. the OEM open diff you can usually see right through

Yeah i know the factory lsd has a bar running across .thats why i know for.sure is not a stock lsd if it has it. I guess im gonna have to open it and check
Thanks
Btw... I cant use the axels to find out? Turning one to one direction and see the other one turns the same way or something like that?

My trans has a bar in the middle of it also

Yes thats factory lsd. But trd came without that bar. Thats.why i think it could have an aftermarket lsd

Thats a non-lsd trans. My old e153 looked exactly the same. Too big to be trd.

i just looked at my e153 outta of a 91 mr2 it looks the same
