Firstly, I'm aware that Toyota factory LSDs have a pretty woeful reputation, but I want to run a factory unit.
I see two generations of Toyota 80 series LSD (maybe there are more):
An earlier type (1992-1997) with 8 thrust washers (black tectured plates) and 6 clutch discs (shiny toothed discs)
A later type (1997-1999) with 6 thrust washers and 4 clutch discs.
Now I would have thought that the earlier type, with more frictional contact area between the plates (because there are more of them) would be the more effective. But, this was the 1990s where some 'developments' in the Landcruiser were actually improvements.
Can anyone compare the effectiveness, longevity of the two LSDs?
For reference, I am in Asia and used to seeing JDM and General market vehicles. The above might not hold for European versions.
Thanks
