I got mine used for around $500 from a local shop. Not too sure if this a good deal or not, but it was the only one I could find. I hope this helps.

Holy smoke this stinks of a search.

Anyways the rear pumpkins are getting harder to find. A Supra Turbo LSD used to be around $600-650 for either the manual or automatic but who knows now. The Supra NA LSD is even rarer and that can be found for closer to $1000. Good luck, these are getting harder to find intact all the time.

I got one off eBay for about $550 shipped and I haven't put it on yet. I also bought a 6spd tranny from the same place for $1600, I sure hope both will work for me...

The MKIV TT 6spd and auto rear ends are totally different. Most of the parts from the MKIV Supra Auto are bolt on, while the 6spd is totally different including the yoke. In my mind there are two upgrade paths, 1. Take the whole back end from a 6spd MKIV including pumpkin, half shafts and drive shaft, or 2. just get the TRD LSD for the MKIV auto / SC300 and install the cartridge in your existing rear end and gears. 2. is obviously weaker, but would give you traction. 1. is for the people that have a stout driveline and lots of hp and want to abuse it and not break it, or if you want to run slicks an launch like a banshee. If you have an automatic you may get away with 2. because there are less stresses on the back end of an automatic car.
