[CHACAMAN]

ok, i see i have to buy a LSD 6.38 inch
but what model ?


Kaaz or Cusco ?

you can use any type of lsd (2way/1.5 way/etc.)
but, it must be correspondent to the year of your car.
the zenki and kouki have different halfshafts, therefore
different lsds.

kaaz and cusco are both great brands.
which one to go with is your choice.
read up on some of their reviews to get a better idea.

does european versions also have kouki and zenki ?
I've Levin Coupe '86 LHD (Germany spec.), so it might be zenki. but really european versions have zenki versions ??

need to know what type of lsd i need to buy, because my levin is with open diff =(

All european versions were delivered both kouki and zenki. The taillights for the European cars remained the same (zenki) throughout the production but all other parts followed the Japanese line.

yeah, I've zenki tail lights, thats why it confused me.

but my car is 1986 production, so I might have kouki diff...

Chacaman, I think you are saying you have a 6.38 inch drum brake rear (S series diff)? If so, it is highly unlikely you will find an LSD for this. Tosco (TRD) did make them but a very long time ago and virtually unobtainable now.

You will first need to upgrade to a T series rear end with the 6.7inch centre. LSD's for these are readily available.

Are you sure ?
Check your trim, is it T282 or T283, on the firewall in engine area ?

Thought the same, but when i figured out that T283 is code for "with LSD option" Corollas i looked better and found out fully worn OEM LSD (1.5way) which worked as open diff.

Btw. maybe you don't need 2way cusco or trd. 1.5way is much cheaper but if rebuilded it can be as much as fun as 2way beasts .

If it says S314, it is an S series. This is the diff we got in Australia as standard in AE86's. T series diffs were not available as standard or optional fitment.

A 6.7 inch T series centre will not fit into a 6.38 inch S series transaxle

Also the S axles are too small for the 6.7 inch centre.

If it is an S series, zenki / kouki are irrelevant

Uzelac, thnx for the info!

I've LSD, there is T283 on the trim.
great news for me)) just need to buy rebuild kit.

I've supposed already what lsd just may be totally wear out.
