LSD diff not LSD or stuffed?

[l1ttle_d3vil]

I bought an ae85 LSD diff head off a toyspeed member some time ago and finally got it into my car, but its definitely not LSD. only one wheel spins.

could it be he was b*llshitting me? and seeing as I wouldn't be able to tell a standard diff to a LSD diff myself i didnt notice its not...

or could the LSD gears or something just be buggered and not working properly? or would the whole diff be stuffed then and not even driveable?

so its supposed to be a stock ae85 lsd?

I don't know much about AE85 I was told the diff is similar to a starlet which means He was bullsh***ing you or he had somthing so rare it would rival the holy grail.

Sorry to say but get your money back.

I have seen a 4.77 ratio diff out of a KE36 but it was still open not LSD.

ok your post is crap. starlet has two types of diffs x and u code. And there was deffinately a TRD or somebrand U code lsd available back in the day and a few still float around (very few). The ae85 diff is S code I think 6.3 or so inch and as far as I know there was no lsd but a few people swear there is so who knows until I see a pic or somthing

FYI - there was also a TRD LSD available for the X code diff, actually it was from a B code (very early Corolla) but still bolted into the X code housing. U code will also fit the X code housing with the right axles.

yep heard of that x-code lsd from a few guys dont suppose there'd be too many of them around

[Mr Revhead]

yes there certainly was TRD diffs for ae85s and starships....
but his post kinda made it sound as if it was a factory one... which doesnt exsist.

did you happen to look at the diff at all before you put it in?
an LSD is easy to spot...

the guy i bought it off told me it was an ae86 LSD (cos thats what the guy he bought it off told him it was) so I put some pics of it on here to confirm this and was told its an ae85 because it has 8 bolts instead of 10, and was also told yes you can get LSDs for ae85s but they are very rare.

yes I did look at the diff, but like I already mentioned I dont know anything about them so wouldn't be able to tell one from the other. have you got some pics so I can see the difference or somethingn?

[Mr Revhead]

ok there was no factory LSD for the ae85.
it is possible that another vehicle had one that would fit though.....

and as above TRD used to make them....

google is good for lokking for things

Open diff:



LSD:



What did it look like?

[Jebus]

AE85 diffs, look like LSD's with thier casing and etc. So its an easy mistake, AE85's didnt come factory LSD over here, but AE70's overseas in the phillipines and such places do come with factory LSD's. These are 6.4" and fit in AE85 housings.

You can get them 4 Pinion as well, which are pretty strong, within reason.

not much to the LSD unit... where exactly is that part located on the diff head? is it very easy to explain with words?

ive tried looking on google but no luck...

heres a link to the original FS thread.
viewtopic.php?t=27389&highlight=ae86+lsd

so if this diff is actually LSD, could the gears or synchros (or whatever drives it) just be worn and the LSD not working properly? or is that not possible?

please bear in mind i know nothing about the inner workings of diff heads!!

cheers
