yes there is two letters. "a" or "b"."a" has no standard diff in the car and "b" means the car has standard lsd in the gearbox.look at the back firewall to see this.its the last letter after the trans/axel code your looking for

just so u know on the standard lsd it acts like an open diff so u cant jack it up in the air and check (i learnt this and sold my lasd box for pennys) the code is C56 - B

Mate I am not sure that is right, I think the non lsd Toyota box is listed as a C52 and the lsd box is a C56, that is what is printed on the vin plate.

I might be wrong there but that rings a bell from looking for an lsd box in the past.

That does not mean there is that box in it but, it may have been removed or changed at some time or other.

easiest way to tell the factory boxes apart is to get ure head under neath the car. if ure driveshafts are near equal length uve got lsd, if ones real short then uve got non lsd box.
