i doubt a TRD LSD is on the repco system

have a look here for the specs.
get something that matchs those specs. which i think you wil find is covered by most decent LSD oils

the only stuff repco keeps in stock normally is Castrol LSX90 & Valvoline LS90.

both have the friction modifiers need for clutch type lsd's

It's hard to find a lube that isn't good/OK for your stuff, hypoid gears with a clutch plate type LSD.
Don't buy anything that is only advertised as 'gear oil' and not hypoid.
Don't buy anything that doesn't claim to be OK for an LSD and have spec GL-3 4 5 whatever.

Then, if it chatters judders makes noise when making tight turns, a friction modifier additive might make it better.
The viscosity's mostly dependent on your local climate and whether you're pulling a trailer or racing, IMO lower/lighter is better for auto-xdriftinggymkana, short length low heat stuff even the Autoban, if it isn't badly worn.
