Default Limited slip diff

Does the SC have one? I have checked all the literature and data I can find but no mention of the diff specs at all.

I guess it hasnt

Don't think so. Everywhere you look at specs on the SC, it has N/A listed beside limited slip differential. I am sure the senior members can validate.

By the way PearlPower did an excellent thread on this about a year ago with pics and stats. I think it was updated somewhat this week. Should be able to find it on the first page of SC430 postings.

Definitely THE BEST performance mod I have put on the car thanks to Lee's advice. The car is much more predictable in turns and I love it off the line. Engine works a bit harder and gas mileage is down a bit but who cares, we didn't buy the SC for gas economy.

I searched ebay and found this guy. He'd probably have one or be able to get it...

Thanks,

Sent him a message, lets hope he has a unit.

No chance of ordering a new unit from Toyota?

No problem. The Supra has been out of production for 10 years, so I doubt Toyota still makes them. Also, I noticed on his listing that he said not to message him through ebay. He has his email address in there. So you might need to contact him that way.

Yup he asked me to email him a request; as expected, none available and pretty hard to locate but he said they do come around every now and then.. He put my request in the 'Parts to look for' section.

All auto manufacturers are obliged to provide spare parts for a minimum of 15 years after model production ceases.. I'm pretty sure a Toyota dealership could order a unit (whole pumpkin) upon request. With my SC being a new 2010, i think its worth the premium in price to purchase new..

Will look into it and post my findings.

Thanks for the help; much appreciated.

Moe

UPDATE:- I searched the Parts catalogue and found a part number IN STOCK for what seems to be the complete assembly of the pumpkin from a 1995 Supra auto with 3.76 Torsen LSD

PN:-41110-14720

The assy. sells at sparks toyota for $1709.. If it is in fact the complete assy. and is available for sure, i will most probably be going that route

From what I know there is no way to purchase a complete unit from Toyota in one shot. There is no single part # for the whole unit, you will need to piece together the whole thing. From what I know the casing is one item, the pinion gear, the ring hear, the actual LSD unit, and both half shafts. But hey I can be wrong, it has been a while since I did my conversion.

The guy on ebay replied saying that he will be getting an MK4 Supra LSD in about 1-2 weeks for $400... Unfortunately, this will not work for me because i am interested in a complete pumpkin with 3.76 gears :'(

I am seriously considering contacting a dealer for a new unit. Need to look into this
