What is the main benefit of a 1-way limited-slip differential?

A 1-way LSD primarily engages during acceleration. This helps to improve traction when you're accelerating out of a corner, reducing wheel spin and allowing you to put more power down to the pavement. It's known for its predictable behavior under throttle.

Does this differential come with all necessary installation hardware?

This listing is for the Cusco Type RS 1-way limited-slip differential unit itself. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions or a service manual to determine if any additional seals, bearings, or hardware are needed for your specific vehicle and installation.

What type of fluid should I use with this differential?

The type of differential fluid required can vary based on the specific application and manufacturer recommendations. It is crucial to refer to the Cusco installation guide for this LSD 177 F or consult your vehicle's service manual for the correct fluid type and capacity to ensure proper operation and longevity.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to get the most out of your 1994-2005 Mazda Miata on the track or during spirited drives, a limited-slip differential (LSD) like this Cusco Type RS can make a significant difference. This differential is designed to send more power to the wheel with better grip, which helps prevent wheel spin and improves acceleration out of corners. It's a popular upgrade for Miata owners who want to enhance their car's handling characteristics and put power down more effectively.

The Cusco Type RS is a 1-way limited-slip differential, meaning it primarily engages under acceleration. This design is often favored for its predictable behavior during cornering, making it easier to control the car's attitude. It's built with durable materials and features a unique clutch system that allows for smooth engagement and a solid lock-up when needed. The Type RS is known for its reliability and performance, offering a noticeable improvement in traction and stability, especially when exiting turns. This unit is designed to fit directly into your Miata's existing differential housing, simplifying the installation process compared to some other drivetrain modifications.

Installing a differential like this is a substantial upgrade for your Miata's drivetrain. It's a component that works in conjunction with your suspension and tires to put power down efficiently. While this is a 1-way unit, Cusco also offers 2-way versions for those seeking even more aggressive behavior during both acceleration and deceleration. Be sure to consult your service manual for the proper installation procedures and any associated fluids or seals that may be required for this upgrade.
