What is a 1-way LSD and how does it work?

A 1-way LSD primarily engages during acceleration. When you apply throttle, internal components lock the differential, sending more power to the wheel with better traction. This helps prevent wheel spin and improves acceleration out of corners. It disengages when you let off the throttle.

What is the benefit of a Cusco Type-RS LSD over a standard differential?

A standard (open) differential sends power to both wheels equally, which can lead to wheel spin if one wheel loses traction. The Type-RS LSD mechanically locks the differential under acceleration, ensuring more consistent power delivery to both wheels, which improves traction and handling, especially during spirited driving or cornering.

About this part

Product Details

Cusco is well-known for making high-performance drivetrain components, and their Type-RS Limited Slip Differential (LSD) for the Honda Fit 5/6MT models is a prime example of their expertise. If you're looking to significantly improve how your Fit handles during acceleration, especially out of corners, this 1-way LSD is designed to help. It works by mechanically locking the differential under acceleration, sending more power to the wheel with better grip. This helps prevent wheel spin and makes the car feel more planted and responsive when you're getting on the throttle.

The Type-RS design is a popular choice because it offers a good balance between aggressive locking action and smooth engagement. It uses a unique cam mechanism that allows for a progressive lock-up, meaning it engages more strongly as throttle input increases. This makes it predictable and manageable, even for daily driving. The internal components are well-made to handle the stresses of performance driving, ensuring consistent operation. Installing this differential will change how your Fit feels when accelerating out of turns, providing a more connected and capable driving experience.

This LSD is specifically designed for the 5-speed and 6-speed manual transmission Honda Fit models. Proper installation is crucial for its performance and longevity, and it's recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions or a qualified mechanic. While this differential is designed to enhance performance, it's important to note that it is a mechanical component and may introduce some additional gear noise compared to a factory open differential, especially during initial engagement.
