Tubby Transmission Number

[TOYMOTA]

To verify if your car has a LSD, check the vehicle identification plate on the inside of front bonnet. There are a number of codes given there, including the transmission type, whose code starts with the sequence "A/TM"

For example, A/TM:- 735/E153

If the last digit before the /E153 is a '3' or a '5' then the car has a LSD - therefore in the example above it does.

There's a guy on eBay selling a REV 2 with the following transmission number. Judging by the number I'd say it does have an LSD. but the numbers and letter are the wrong way round???

MODEL - ESW20-AJM22

ENGINE/ TRANSAMISSION - E153-735

Anyone disagree???

The original info you found on the 'net is not quite right. Our rev 4 turbo transmission is E153-735 and every one I've seen (and I checked a few after I read the same info that you did) was like ours - E153-735. I'm assuming the guy who posted the original info just got it mixed up a bit, nobody's perfect.
