I agree with you that the info just doesn't add up.
http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showto...mode=linearplus

THIS INFO MAYBE FALSE WILL LOOK INTO IT

about JDM version st202 :

Red-Top 3s-ge beams vvt-i have helical LSD gear-box S54-06D
both version in production from 1997 - 1999
SS-II(st202...no SSS) 3s-ge vvt-i
SS-III(st202 with SSS) 3s-ge vvt-i

about viscous LSD

SS-II (st202 no SSS) from 1995-1997 have viscous LSD + ABS
SS-III (st202 + SSS) 1995 - 1997 have viscous LSD


about UK and Europe version st202 :

all version with SSS from 1995- 1999 have visco LSD

helical LSD was only in JDM version st202 and MR2 SW20 (both 3s-gte and beams)

which I agreed didn't look right so I added... THIS INFO MAYBE FALSE WILL LOOK INTO IT

I agree the BEAMS SS-III ST202 has an LSD (Helica)
but as for the BEAMS SS-II ST202, sorry I cant find any TRUE info anywhere to back it up, to say it has an LSD (even though I said 'yes' I was going off that false info)

nope you have a viscous LSD in your SS-III pre-BEAMS. The BEAMS SS-II/SS-III have a helical LSD

(so if thats a SS-II with a BEAMS engine)


(mine a SS-II with 3gen 3S-GE engine)
the only differences between the 2 are: the frame number, colour and trim. sorry if you cant read it its night time here and my camera wont focus
anyway it says for the gearbox.... S54 - 06A

so according to that info from that 'quoted info' and your BEAMS website the BEAMS SS-II has a Helica LSD, no difference between mine(non BEAMS) and the SS-II BEAMS gearbox.. so what does that mean? the SS-II/ BEAMS SS-II doesn't have a Helica LSD so then maybe a viscous?

now I dont know how true this site is btw
1996 SS-II > http://www.cars-directory.net/specs/toyota...ca/1996_6/5740/ (says no LSD)
1999 SS-II BEAMS . http://www.cars-directory.net/specs/toyota...ca/1999_1/5722/ (says no LSD)

so.... WTF!!!????? im also now confused

maybe we need to break down the gearbox code (what each digit means)
S54-06A <<< found in a SS-II
S54-06D <<< found in a SS-III

also S54-02A <<< found in a USDM GT

since we know the USDM never had LSD so maybe something to do with the -06 so what about the A or the D ?



also what about the SS-III both SS-III and SS-III BEAMS have LSD but do they both have the same LSD? Helica/Viscous
