The supra is a close relative of the celica. My GT4's (alltrac) LSD
is torsen, thats the only connection i was making.
Then you have emphatically not got a limited slip differential. What
you *have* got is a Torsen worm gear 'torque proportioning
differential'. Your use of 'LSD' to describe your differential is
incorrect. There is nothing in a Torsen that slips, even in a
limited way.
That's not what "limited slip" means, moron.
Oh but it is shit-for-brains. It is the limiting of power transfer to the
wheel with least torque demand by the use of clutch discs which slip in a
limited way. It is a description of the differential, not of its end result
in traction.

Wrong, retard. |

Calm down Huw - we see your point, its purely because its a commonly
mistaken term (that i for one have only just found out was mistaken)
that it takes time for someone to change over. I'll get there in the
end :) However your condescending tone isnt helpful.
|
Well, even if Huw is technically correct, it's still a
commonly-accepted description. On my Supra's window sticker, it says
"Torsen limited slip diff", so I feel safe in calling it that myself. |

This isnt what every other source of info I've ever found on LSD's has
said, and indeed the toyota manual that states "Torque Sensing (torsen)
Limited Slip Differential", however having visited a few manufacturer
sites I can concur that non who produce non-clutch type systems call
them LSDs - they call them torque sensing traction differentials.
|
Okay, and who says "the manufacturers" get sole rights to "properly"
name the differential? They have their own agenda (i.e. product
differentiation). If the world at large, the people who actually use
the things, consider it an LSD, then it's an LSD. |

Huw is of the mentality that demands clarity in matters technical which ...
this discussion is technical. You cannot convey and converse in a technical
discussion without precise language and agreement in word / term
definitions!
If you can't keep up or think otherwise, sit this one out.

It is truely remarkable how often people hurl political labels at those
around them, while being largely unaware of their own biases. There are
those intimidated by social/political correctness who give lip service to
leftist ideas but conduct their lives a bit conservative once they have
acquired some wealth (ie a house, land, a small business, etc). Not
surpriseingly, these people learn -they- are the ones whose wealth is
confiscated to fund socialism.

Hi,
I used Castrol HYPOY LS in my supras. It only comes in 5litre containers
but it didn't seem any more expensive than the regular stuff. I used an
old hypoy90 squeegee bottle to fill the diffs.

and none of the gear oil containers stated suitable for limited slip
differentials including the synthetic and semi-synthetic. The fellows at
the shop didn't know what the difference would be or if it was OK to use in
the LSD. I bought the semi-synthetic API Service GL-5 lubricant . Is this
OK for my differential? I checked some of the oil supplier websites (i.e.
Castrol) and there didn't appear to be a specific oil for LSD. Just their
regular gear oils said suitable for LSD.
