I was wanting to know if the US 91' mr2 turbo tranny is different from the JDM 91'. Some of the things I have heard is that the jdm tranny has limited slip and can withstand 9,000 RPM's from the motor. What true and how much different are the two trannys? kevin

ummm sounds like you mean the 93+ tranny... many came with LSD. mine's JDM and it has an E153 tranny... check your plate and it should tell you what sort you have.

they are the same. the difference in the e153 came w/ the 93+ models. you can get them from toyota w/ a lsd.

The thing is, I have no "plate" or numbers anywhere on my tranny. The guy who sold it to me said he didnt know what year the tranny was. Does the 91 tranny come with a mannual or eletrical speed sensor? I have an eletrical one. Anyone's help is welcome thank you for your replies!

manual. so it sounds like you have a later one.

NICE! Does this mean LSD?

no.

oh... Well is there any other way I can tell if it's LSD or not?

don't know... heard something about spinning one wheel and seeing if the other spins the other way but....

i'm guessing you havent put it in the car yet...

your correct. It sits on my floor as we speak.

Spinning the wheels will NOT tell you if you have LSD.

The only way you can tell for sure is if you look through the casing and see the LSD obstruction.

Also, what axles are you using?
You will need different axles for LSD or not.
Did the seller supply you with axles?

no, i didnt get any axles. I think the tranny was stollen because the vin. numbers were takin off. I was thinking that i would have to replace the axles, but will the tranny still work if i use non lsd axles with a LSD tranny?

Non-lsd axles will not fit correctly into the LSD tranny.

i have a LSD how hard is it to change the passinger side axel(its going)?
do you think i should go with upgraded axels, are they worth it if my goal is 250-300whp?

I would jsut get the ATS Racing upgraded CV joints ... that is what typically fails at 300 rwhp.
