What is the main benefit of a 1-way LSD for my Evo?

A 1-way LSD primarily engages under acceleration. This helps to reduce wheelspin on the inside tire when exiting a corner, allowing you to put more power down and maintain better control.

Does this LSD come with all the necessary parts for installation?

This listing is for the Cusco Type MZ 1-way front LSD unit itself. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation guide or a professional mechanic to determine if any additional hardware, seals, or fluids are required for your specific vehicle and installation.

Is this LSD compatible with my factory transmission fluid?

Limited-slip differentials often require specific LSD-compatible gear oil to function correctly and prevent premature wear. It is crucial to use the fluid type recommended by Cusco or a qualified mechanic for this LSD to ensure proper operation and longevity.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to get the most out of your Mitsubishi Evo 1 (CD9A), Evo 2 (CE9A), or Evo 3 (CE9A) on the track or during spirited drives, upgrading your open differential to a limited-slip differential (LSD) is a significant step. This Cusco Type MZ 1-way front LSD is specifically designed to replace your factory open differential, offering a more controlled and predictable power delivery to the front wheels.

The Type MZ is a clutch-type LSD that uses a set of friction plates to transfer torque to the wheel with more grip. This 1-way design means it primarily engages under acceleration, helping to reduce wheelspin and improve corner exit speed. When you're on the throttle, the LSD locks up, sending power to both front wheels more evenly. This helps prevent the inside wheel from spinning freely when you're accelerating out of a turn, which can lead to understeer. The result is a more stable and responsive feel, allowing you to put power down more effectively.

Cusco is well-known for its performance drivetrain components, and this LSD is built with their expertise in mind. It's designed to be a direct replacement for your factory open differential, though professional installation is recommended due to the complexity of differential work. This upgrade is particularly beneficial for drivers who frequently push their vehicles in performance driving scenarios and want to enhance both traction and handling characteristics. Ensure you have the necessary tools and knowledge for differential installation, or consult a qualified mechanic to ensure proper setup and function.
