Most lsds are perfectly quiet. the mecanical ones have no plate inside jsut cogs, so you would know its where untill you put your foot down round a corner.

from what i've heard.........the trd 1.5 helical is the one to get if u are looking for no noise, easy maintenance and everyday/street use

the mechanical ones use the clutch set up and generally keep noise ad are a bit more aggressive........trd also makes a mechanical one......

so be sure to ask for the type if u want........probably helical

wats better, a 1.5 way lsd or a 2.0 lsd? apprently the 1.5's make it handle strange when de-ecelerating. but the 2.0 lsd works fine when de-ecelerating to???

is that correct and wat are the benefits or downsides

Quaiffe is theway forward! They also come with a lifetime garantee, and they are based in GB.
I did have a Cusco, but the Quaiffe takes it by a country mile!

For a front wheel drive 1 and 1.5. 2 is for RWD and 4WD. The number refers to the conditions under which the diff locks.

1 = under accleration
1.5 = under accleration, some under braking
2 = under both acceleration and braking

A 2 would make a front wheel drive tough to drive as it would always be locked. These make the most noise and can't be quieted.

I have never heard a quiet two way, clutch type lsd in any vehicle. I've driven them in all three drivetrains, 4WD (evolution IV), FF (DC2 ITR), and RWD (AE86). All made noise, even after changing the preload. With a 2-way its always engaged unless stationary. We couldn't even push the EvoIV with the wheels turned as any movement would lock it. It would bang under each shift. The only one that came close to being quiet was the ITRs and that clicked like mad once you started turning the wheel.

If you have one, consider yourself lucky.

You open the gearbox, remove the stock differential, bolt the crown gear from the stock diff onto the LSD, and replace.
