Any SC rear end is compatible with the Supra TT Auto LSD. Any SC rear end is also compatible with the Supra n/a LSDs (both 5MT and 4AT).
The only Supra LSD that is not compatible with the SC rear ends is the TT 6MT LSD.
I have personally swapped a TT Auto LSD into an SC300 A/T rear end. I have a good friend on the forums who has done the same swap into an SC400 rear end.

Why don't you use the entire pumpkin? I have a '95 SC300 also and I want to go with a LSD. I was trying to double check to make sure that the pumpkin from a Supra TT is a direct bolt on and what the gearing is so I make sure I buy the right thing. Don't mean to hijack your thread but I'm looking for the same basic info. Any help is appreciated.

ok so i am thinking about getting the TRD LSD (3.76 is that right?) and which of the install kits should i get, the TT 5pd or the NA 5spd?
also, i originally was thinking about getting the Cusco RS LSD. what is the ratio for that?
also would i need the install kit?
would you recommend the TRD or the Cusco?
i hate making new topics so i decided to resurrect this one.
thanks for any inputs.

It's not the LSD that dictates the gear ratio. You can install a LSD in your stock pumpking and still retain your gear ratio. For example, I have TRD in my SC300 pumpking and still have the same gear ratio of 4.27. YOu have to change the ring gear to change the ratio. LSD is just away of getting the power to the wheels.
Some correct me if I am wrong., below are the gear ratio for some lexus and toyota cars. Thank you search function.
If you swap out the whole rearend (pumpkin) of your car with a supra or SC400, with LSD installed then you will have a different gear ratio. But just dropping the LSD in the stock pumpkin. No change, just more grip.

ahhh wow haha thanks for clearing that up.
also, i have read that changing the pumpkin can lead to your speedometer not reading correctly. is this true? if so, how would you be able to remedy this?

"How it works
The Yellow Box is installed in the vehicle and corrects the speedo signal
in real-time. It can be re-adjusted at any time to correct for changes in
gearing and wheel sizes."

yes that would be the most cost effective way, cause if you cant do the work yourself then you have to pay for the LSD intall. The problem is, the Supra auto TT diffs are getting kinda scarce. If you find one for sale there anywhere from 500-900 plus shipping. Kaaz lsd on eaby 800.
