Hello all, I recently got an ST205 clip for a swap this winter and obviously need a new tranny. My question: As someone who isn't going to be on a track, is LSD worth it? I don't plan on racing but will I still feel the power or is it worth the time it takes to try to hunt one of these E153 LSD tranny's down?

Thanks.

Don't bother with the E154F. It's too much work and I've read that it doesn't work, though I haven't thoroughly researched the topic and have no firsthand experience.

As for the LSD, I was lucky enough to get factory LSD with my BEAMS swap. Now that I have it, I find the $500 MR-S LSD's that fit the S54 trans to be completely worth it. I really don't want another Celica without it. I can't speak for torque steer, but I know the car pulls itself through a corner much better now than it used to. Not just "a little bit better," but quite a bit better.

I can't speak for the E153 with LSD either, just that those that choose to go high HP on their 3S swaps seem to prefer the longer gearing.
