Cusco LSD Type-MZ 1.5-Way (1.5&2 Way) Rear 93-96 Toyota Supra 5MT/4AT OEM Diff 2JZ-GE (3.0L) NA Only

The Cusco Type-MZ 1.5-way limited slip differential is built with a unique clutch plate design that offers a notable improvement in traction for your 1996-1998 Toyota Supra. This differential is specifically designed for the naturally aspirated 2JZ-GE engine, whether you have the 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission, and it fits directly into the OEM differential housing. It’s a well-built unit that aims to put power down more effectively, especially when exiting corners or during spirited driving.

What sets the Type-MZ apart is its 1.5-way operation. This means it locks up more aggressively during acceleration, helping to prevent wheelspin and keep both rear wheels driving forward. During deceleration, it offers a less aggressive lock-up, which can help maintain stability and predictability. This balance is key for a car like the Supra, where precise control is important. The internal components are made from durable materials designed to handle the stresses of performance driving, ensuring consistent performance over time. Installation involves replacing your factory open or limited-slip differential with this unit, requiring specialized knowledge and tools for proper setup and break-in.

When installing this differential, it's crucial to follow the manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure. This typically involves a series of gentle acceleration and deceleration cycles to properly seat the clutch plates. This process is essential for the longevity and optimal performance of the LSD. You will also need to use specific differential fluid, as recommended by Cusco, to ensure the clutch plates engage and disengage correctly without premature wear. This is a significant upgrade for any Supra owner looking to enhance their car's handling characteristics and put power down more efficiently.
