Factory fwd lsd?

[Diamond Star Werks]

Okay so there's a guy selling a bunch of trans parts and one of which is an lsd. He says the lsd is a factory lsd. I asked him about it and he said they never came with it but you could get it installed.

This is for my gst. He says its for it. He also said he tried searching for them trying to find a price on them or where to buy them, but found nothing. I haven't been able to find anything either.
Anyone know anything about these? And of they are good? All i know about is factory lsds for awd, but this is for fwd.

Factory rear lsd for awd, yes..Factory fwd lsd no that didnt not come stock,but it does in the aftermarket world.

He didn't say it was aftermarket though. I asked what type it was and he told me factory.

I know you can buy aftermarket.

This is what he told me.

" its in the picture i posted and its the stock mitsubishi lsd for 1g and 2gs"

" u cant find them any more ive looked to even get a price on them cant find shit not even the factory has them"
I said

" Oh i didn't know about factory lsds. Was this an option? And were talking fwd right? I have a gst"

He said

" u can add it but the factory didnt"

" and ### i have is for that"

This is the picture he refered to.

There looks to be a factory open diff in the top left corner of the picture/table. You can tell it's an open setup because of the bar through it.

Look for this in the picture above.

Alright i'll try and get more pictures to verify it. So whats the deal with them then? Did Mitsubishi make them as an option off the floor or upgrade choosable after purchase?

And so it would be a helical lsd?

As far as I know, the FWD only came with an open diff. There was no factory LSD option. And I believe you can't run the car without the open diff...but I could be wrong.

It's not an LSD at all. Just a plain, basic open diff.

Did he say what vehicle it came off of? Sounds like horseshit to me IMO.

Hold on i'll have get more of what he said on here. He didn't say what vehicle. He apparently has a bunch of jdm trans parts as well so maybe its an evo diff he thinks will fir or something. He hasn't answered i don't think since my last question for more pix.

Brian i do see the bar now. I asked for close ups.

This was his first message to me when I first inquired about the trans parts.

" i have the center lsd and yea il do 100 for a set of forks for the stock ones and 175 for the cast ones u just have to let me kno wich ones u have the forks will come with proper rails and 175 alone just for the hub and synchro gears not included and i can match any ratio u want ul have to count the teeth on ## gears and let me kno evo gears are 140 a piece this is extreamly cheap considering just the outputshafts are going for 300 i have those as well in good shape 22 and 23 for 120 lsd 200 min i can come down if u buy all at once everything is cleaned and inspected thoroughly all synch surfaces are in greatshape and NO chiped teeth or worn splines it should all be the same tho and its double first and second hub so both will have to be double"


And this is the last two things he said after what was previously posted.

" hey man just to let u kno if u count the teeth on ## gears i can make u custom ratios with the gears i have ....###/evo gears"

" i can do both if need be i have the front dif. u can just send me ## trans and i can build it for if u want il match everything to spec including ZERO for the shaft play but still proper preload "

I didn't think fwd had any kind of factory lsd either. But I asked if it was fwd, said i had a gst and he responded, " and ### i have is for that". Which to me sound unaffirmative.

No response from him since I said this, " [email protected] I need close up pix of the lsd complete. In the one you posted the diff(upper left corner right?) Looks to have a rod through the middle. Thanks."
