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. A 1.5-way LSD, like this one, offers a balance, locking strongly during acceleration and with reduced force during deceleration, providing stability during cornering.

What type of fluid should I use with this Cusco LSD?

It is critical to use a specialized gear oil with friction modifiers designed for clutch-type limited-slip differentials. Always refer to the Cusco installation manual for the exact fluid type and capacity recommended for this specific LSD model.

Does this LSD come with all the necessary installation hardware?

The Cusco LSD Type MZ typically includes the differential unit itself. It is recommended to consult the product's installation manual or contact Cusco directly to confirm if any additional hardware, seals, or bearings are included or required for installation.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to get the most out of your 1989-1993 Mazda MX-5 (NA6CE) on the track or during spirited driving, a limited-slip differential (LSD) can make a significant difference. This Cusco Type MZ 1.5 Way rear LSD is designed to put power down more effectively, especially when exiting corners. It helps prevent one wheel from spinning freely while the other has traction, sending more torque to the wheel that needs it.

The Type MZ is a clutch-type LSD, known for its smooth engagement and predictable operation. The 1.5-way design means it applies locking force during both acceleration and deceleration. This offers a good balance, providing enhanced traction when you're on the throttle and helping to stabilize the car during braking and corner entry. Cusco has a long history of making well-built drivetrain components, and this LSD is no exception. It's constructed with durable materials designed to handle the stresses of performance driving. Installation will involve removing the rear differential and replacing the factory unit with this LSD, so it's a job best suited for someone with experience or a professional mechanic.

When installing this LSD, it's important to use the correct differential fluid, typically a specialized gear oil with friction modifiers designed for LSDs. Refer to the Cusco installation manual for specific fluid recommendations and any other hardware or modifications that might be necessary for a proper fit and optimal performance. This differential is a substantial upgrade for MX-5 owners looking to improve their car's handling and traction capabilities.
