I think its just a straight swap but im not 100% certain myself.Also it may be worth changing your clutch while they have the gearbox off? Might mean a bit more moeny for the clutch but labour won't be much more as they are taking the gearbox off anyway.Jason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Wont need driveshafts if its an aftermarket LSD for a non LSD box You will need new diff bearings and gearbox seals/gaskets from Toyota. Quite a big job Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 The chances are you will need to see a gearbox specialist. Even if a garage did offer to take up the job, personally I would rather see a gearbox specialist. Gearboxes are fiddly things and I wouldn't want someone to do it wrong, and it's not easy to remove/fit a gearbox!While your getting the LSD fitted, as Sparky mentioned you may as well get the diff bearings with seals and gaskets, but I'd also replace the syncros for peace of mine. I did this with my old Glanza and the gearbox was a beauty. It cost £150 in labour from CogTeg Transmissions in Bradford, who I would highly recommend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quite a big jobI stand corrected On a side note Sparky what would you need to fit the standard LSD box? is it just s straight swap for the old unit??? Obviously i won't need the driveshafts as i can use the standard non-lsd ones as they are getting cut up anyway.Jason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 As Idree's said it would be piece of mind to give the gearbox a freshen up When I bought my GT it had a TRD diff installed and a gearbox overhaul and the gear shifts are as tight as a ducks arse!!@ Jason you would probably need the LSD shafts tbh as they are equal length i.e if you used non LSD ones the one might not be long enough even if they are being cut up/modified.I know there is an extra gearbox mount but again obviously seeing as your car isnt a EP chassis you wont need it or would need to make up a mount or something.Not sure if an aftermarket LSD in a non LSD box is better than a aftermarket LSD in an LSD box though???

silverglanza Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 bloody hell thats cheap 150 labor whats the difference between a 1.5 way lsd and a 2way one ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 All I know is a 2 way WILL try and kill you Not for the inexperienced of drivers, proper full on track diff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I've tried to understand the different diffs with no success. i know that mine tries to kill me though haha. its like it watches till you relax your grip ever so slightly then POW right in the kisser i realise that doesnt really answer any questions.

jason_l Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 @ Jason you would probably need the LSD shafts tbh as they are equal length i.e if you used non LSD ones the one might not be long enough even if they are being cut up/modified.I know there is an extra gearbox mount but again obviously seeing as your car isnt a EP chassis you wont need it or would need to make up a mount or something.Thanks Sparkster! It might be easier for me to source another long drive shaft than trying to find a LSD shaft as they will be more cash. Although i may get away with the standard shafts but don't know yet.They have already fitted the standard gearbox in place and welded on a mount so this will have to be ground off and moved over ;) But will be a better drive with the LSD box and may actually get some traction, little but not much Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 LSD is a must. Donuts FTW ;)@Russleh Cusco's are like that my TRD torque steers like a bitch, gave my mate a go and he couldnt hold it straight in 3rd gear Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silverglanza Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 so lets say i got a lsd for 350 on ebay if thats the one that goes out side the gear box how much from start to finish would you be looking at 800????????????? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 LSD is a must.
