Cusco LSD Type MZ 1 Way Rear for 9/89-9/93 Mazda MX-5 (NA6CE)

Cusco is well-known for making high-performance suspension and drivetrain components for sports cars. This Type MZ 1 Way limited-slip differential (LSD) is built for the 1989-1993 Mazda MX-5 Miata (NA6CE chassis). If you're looking to get more grip out of your Miata, especially during spirited driving or track use, an LSD is a significant upgrade over a standard open differential.

This Type MZ differential is a 1-way unit, meaning it actively locks the rear wheels under acceleration. This helps put power down more effectively, reducing wheelspin and improving corner exit speed. The clutch-type design uses multiple friction plates that engage when torque is applied, providing a strong locking effect. The Type MZ series is designed to offer a good balance between aggressive locking action and smooth engagement, making it suitable for both street and track use. It's a well-built component designed to handle the demands of a performance-oriented Miata.

Installing a limited-slip differential is a complex job that typically requires removing the rear axle and opening up the differential housing. It's often recommended to have this done by a professional mechanic, especially if you're not experienced with drivetrain work. You'll also want to ensure you have the correct gear oil for limited-slip differentials, as using the wrong type can cause chatter and premature wear. This differential is designed to fit the specific NA6CE chassis, ensuring a direct replacement for your stock unit.
