hi guys, all ss-III's have an LSD, from 93.10-95.8 have an e56 transmission with viscous lsd. From that point on the ss-III's have an s54 with helical LSD.

ss-II's may have them as it was an option, so different to what some people think a beams engine does not always come with an lsd, only if it is from an ss-III is there any guarentee. Had a freind who got stung by the seller claiming the box was from a beams car so had an lsd, i did warn him its a gamble and in the end he took the chance but sadly it had no lsd .

I think the helical lsd is the same as the lsd used by the zzw30 mr2 spyder, not sure its exactly the same part but they are compatible with the s54 iirc but would need to confirm.
