Cusco Type RS LSD Toyota SXE/GXE10 1Way

This is the Cusco Type RS 1-Way Limited Slip Differential (LSD) specifically for the Toyota SXE and GXE10 chassis. If you're looking to significantly improve your car's traction and handling, especially during spirited driving or track use, an LSD is a critical component. It works by distributing torque between the rear wheels, ensuring that power is sent to the wheel with the most grip. This particular Type RS model is a 1-Way differential, meaning it actively locks under acceleration, which helps to prevent wheelspin and improve corner exit speed. When you lift off the throttle, it disengages, making it more predictable and comfortable for daily driving compared to some other LSD types.

Cusco is well-known for its performance drivetrain components, and the Type RS is a popular choice for enthusiasts seeking a noticeable improvement in their vehicle's performance. This unit is built with precision and durability in mind, featuring a compact clutch pack design that allows for smooth engagement and a relatively quiet operation for an LSD. The 1-Way design is favored by many for its straightforward behavior under acceleration, providing a strong, locked feeling when you need it most. Installation involves replacing your factory open or clutch-type differential with this unit, which requires specialized knowledge and tools, often including setting backlash and preload correctly. It's designed to fit directly into the factory differential housing, simplifying the installation process for those familiar with drivetrain work.

When installing a limited-slip differential like this Cusco Type RS, it's important to use the correct differential fluid recommended by Cusco to ensure proper operation and longevity. You'll also want to ensure your rear axle and surrounding components are in good condition before undertaking this upgrade. This differential is a significant performance enhancement for your SXE/GXE10, offering improved traction and a more engaging driving experience, especially when pushing the car's limits.
