Okay....... Something is very screwy here......

Assuming that this is a North America spec 85 5-speed, it "should" be a Code F283, which is a 4.30 LSD rear..... This was the only gear ratio available on a 85 5-speed (for North America), the Automatic's had the 4.10 ratio

If you can humor me, could you please post the ENTIRE bottom line of the firewall dataplate, along w/ the model code line as well???? Something sounds odd....

Even better I will take a picture of the plate just so no one can say that I am reading it wrong. But that will have to wait till tomorrow since it’s to dark out side. But one more question, only the 5-speed 82 p-type supra come with the 3.727 diff, or does other year supra have them too? Thanks

Correct on the last one. 83's went to the 4.10's, then 84/86 went to the 4.30's.... Assuming that it's a North America spec car. Some "other" countries (like Australia), had the 3.91's on their 5-speeds.

Looking forward to seeing the dataplate info. Thanks!!!

84+ autos have 4.10's. btw, the true trac holds up fine. see the racing sectiong for more details. thread is called really good news and really bad news.

The 80's celicas came with the 3.73, GTS had LSD.

hmmm . .. is this true? That'd be sweet b/c there's an '85 GTS in the junkyard. (well it's said they didn't have LSD, but I'm wondering about the gears)

Well Guys,

I guess I must be lucky! My 86 P-type has the 4.30 LSD rear (F283), which I have never liked. I have been looking for a good 82 MKII for years - no such luck. Then I thought, why not check the 87 Cressida that I no longer drive. What do you know, 3.91 rear (F312) - and I know it is in good shape. I guess I will pull it off, get it cleaned up and adjusted with a new LSD, and then give the old (new) Supra a spin. It will probably be about a month but I will keep you guys informed.

My 85 that I just purchased also has F014 in the VIN, although it has been hit in the rear at some point and now has a rear end with the LSD sticker on the cover

my 82 p type came with a code of f303 which has 3.73 with lsd and 2pinions with 7.5 ring diamoter...hope it helps...
