What is the difference between a 1-way, 1.5-way, and 2-way LSD?

A 1-way LSD primarily locks during acceleration. A 2-way LSD locks during both acceleration and deceleration. This 1.5-way unit locks during acceleration and also applies some locking force during deceleration, offering a balance that helps stabilize the car during corner entry and exit.

Does this limited slip differential come with all necessary installation hardware?

This listing is for the Cusco LSD unit itself. Installation typically requires additional components such as new differential bearings, seals, and potentially transmission fluid. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation guide or a professional mechanic for a complete list of required parts and procedures.

What kind of maintenance is required for this Cusco LSD?

Like any differential, regular fluid changes with a high-quality gear oil are essential for longevity. Cusco recommends specific types of fluid for their LSDs to ensure proper operation and to prevent premature wear. Always refer to the manufacturer's maintenance guidelines for the best results.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to get the most out of your 2004-2008 Acura TSX, especially when pushing it hard on the track or during spirited driving, a limited slip differential (LSD) can make a significant difference. This Cusco RS 1.5-way front LSD is specifically designed for the K20A engine found in your TSX, and also fits the 02-04 Acura Integra Type-R. It replaces your factory open differential to help put power down more evenly to both front wheels, improving traction out of corners and reducing wheel spin.

Cusco's RS series LSDs are known for their smooth engagement and durability. This 1.5-way design means it applies locking force during both acceleration and deceleration, which helps stabilize the car during corner entry and exit. The '1&1.5' designation refers to how it locks on acceleration versus deceleration, offering a balanced feel that's effective for performance driving without being overly intrusive for daily use. It's built with high-quality materials to handle the demands of performance driving, ensuring consistent performance when you need it most. Installation involves removing the factory differential and installing this unit, which is a job best handled by someone experienced with drivetrain components.

This Cusco LSD is a substantial upgrade for your TSX's drivetrain. It's designed to work with the factory transmission and is a popular choice for those looking to enhance their car's handling and performance capabilities. While installation requires specialized knowledge and tools, the result is a more connected and capable driving experience, especially when dealing with moderate to high horsepower applications or aggressive driving styles.
