Installing an LSD in a GSR

Yes, the EBAY photos are definitely of a mechanical LSD.

I'll let you all in on a little secret....
For anybody ever needing to know the difference between a viscous or mechanical LSD whilst it is still in the car, simply remove a CV cup and look inside the guts.
Viscous LSD's have a hole straight through them.
Mechanical LSD's has a step inside them with a smaller circle hole in the middle.
Its the same identifying principle for front or rear LSD's.
See my pic attached.

And here's a pic of a EVO 1 viscous rear LSD. It's clearly different to that which is pictured in the EBay auction.

Got a reply back from them, I asked whether the item that would be packaged and posted was the exact same item as pictured in the ebay listing. The reply was that yes that is the item I would receive, and their 'mechanic' confirms it is a viscous LSD. This thing might be a bit of a gamble!

:wacko: :blink: :huh:
