Default LSD

I've searched around, and cant seem to find anything, but does anyone know of a company that makes a good Limited Slip Diff for the TC that doesn't cost as much as the TRD one which IMO is ridiculously expensive.

if you think the price is high, just wait till you see the bill to install it.

i have one btw, it was well worth it.

Oh I can install it myself, my uncle has a garage, and all the tools and i have installed them before. But I could get a adjustable Auburn or Detroit diff for my mustang for like 300 bucks, I know the FWD is a bit more complex, but 1000 bucks seems ridiculous. (and yes I ave put diff's in FWD cars before)

And I'll be sure to call Hoffman, anyone in particular I need to ask for?

I recommend the TRD one, as its not clutch based, and it works really well!

i have an trd lsd, clutchmaster stage 3 clutch, and competition clutch 9.5 pound flywheel.

because the flywheel is lighter and has less momentum, it is alot easier to stall out in first gear. but in it revs up alot quicker now.

as for the lsd, it is great, especially when pulling out of like a driveway and having to merge with traffic or taking hard turns, you don't have to worry about one wheel losing traction and getting all the power, both wheels just spin and pull. it makes a big difference in the timing amount of throttle input you can give the car when driving hard.

also, it is good in slippery conditions

well, it should cost about...650 at most shops. i had mine done along with my clutch and flywheel for a total of $1000 even for installation of a clutch, flywheel, and lsd, with a stainless steel clutchline.

but the shop mis-aligned my 5th gear synchro, and it was at a time i wasn't able to bring the car back to the shop that did it, so i took it to my dealership to have it fixed for $1980, and am currently working to recoupe the losses i suffered, but yeah, in total, my lsd installation has cost me $2980 dollars.

if you do it at your toyota dealership, it will cost about the same price as a transmission overhaul, which is about 1500. but it is warrantied atleast.
