What is a 1.5-way limited slip differential?

A 1.5-way LSD locks the differential strongly during acceleration, helping to put power down to both rear wheels. It also provides a partial lock during deceleration, which can aid in stabilizing the vehicle during braking and turn-in, offering a balance of traction and control.

What type of gear oil should I use with this LSD?

Using the correct gear oil is crucial for the longevity and performance of your LSD. It is recommended to consult the Cusco installation instructions or your vehicle's service manual for the specific type and viscosity of gear oil required for this differential.

Does this LSD come with all necessary installation hardware?

This listing is for the Cusco Type-MZ 1.5-way limited slip differential unit itself. It is designed to fit the factory differential housing, but you will need to reuse your existing hardware or source any specific installation components as per the manufacturer's instructions.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to improve traction and handling on your 1992-1996 Subaru GC8 or 1997-1998 SF Forester, especially during spirited driving or on track, a limited slip differential (LSD) is a key upgrade. This Cusco Type-MZ 1.5-way unit is designed to help put power down more effectively, reducing wheelspin and improving corner exit speeds.

The Type-MZ is a clutch-type LSD, meaning it uses friction plates to lock the differential under acceleration and deceleration. The 1.5-way design means it locks strongly on acceleration, providing excellent traction when you need it most coming out of a corner. It also offers a degree of locking on deceleration, which can help stabilize the car during braking and turn-in. This particular unit is well-built with Cusco's reputation for quality drivetrain components. It's designed to fit directly into the factory differential housing, simplifying installation compared to some other types of differentials.

When installing a limited slip differential, it's important to use the correct gear oil. Consult your vehicle's service manual or the Cusco installation instructions for the recommended fluid type and capacity. This differential is a significant upgrade for enthusiasts looking to maximize their Subaru's performance potential.
