What is a 1.5-way LSD and how does it differ from a 2-way LSD?

A 1.5-way LSD locks during acceleration and also provides a partial lock during deceleration. This helps stabilize the vehicle during corner entry and exit. A 2-way LSD locks equally during both acceleration and deceleration, offering a more aggressive feel.

What is included with the Cusco LSD Type-RS?

This product is the Cusco LSD Type-RS differential unit itself. Installation will require additional components and fluids, which are not included and should be sourced separately according to manufacturer specifications.

Does this LSD require special fluids or maintenance?

Yes, limited-slip differentials typically require specific LSD-compatible gear oil for proper function and longevity. It is essential to consult the Cusco installation manual for the recommended fluid type and any specific maintenance procedures.

About this part

Product Details

This listing is for the Cusco LSD Type-RS (1.5-Way) differential, specifically designed for the Honda Fit models equipped with a 5-speed or 6-speed manual transmission. A limited-slip differential (LSD) is a crucial component for performance driving, especially when you're pushing your car's limits. Unlike an open differential, which sends power to the wheel with the least traction, an LSD intelligently distributes torque between the drive wheels, improving traction and control during acceleration, cornering, and even braking.

The Type-RS from Cusco is a well-known option for drivers seeking improved performance. Its 1.5-way design means it actively locks during acceleration, providing strong traction, and also offers a degree of locking under deceleration. This characteristic helps stabilize the car during corner entry and exit, making it feel more planted and predictable. The internal components are built with durability in mind, using materials chosen to withstand the stresses of spirited driving. Installation involves replacing the factory differential, and it's recommended to consult the manufacturer's instructions for the precise procedure, as it requires specialized knowledge and tools to ensure proper setup and function.

When you're looking to enhance your Honda Fit's handling and put power down more effectively, especially if you participate in track days, autocross, or simply enjoy spirited driving on twisty roads, the Cusco LSD Type-RS is a solid option. It's designed to work with the factory transmission and drivetrain components, offering a significant upgrade in performance feel and capability for manual transmission Fit models.
