how do i get a 4:10/limited-slip trans, can i buy one? can i get one from a supra? help me out.

 

Nope. Limited slip does/doesn't occur in the differential. Nothing to do with the trans. Search under those terms.

 

The limited slip out of a Supra that you are talking about is the rear differential, not the tranny. Is your truck a two wheel drive or four wheel drive?

 

All transmissions are limited slip- if they slipped, you wouldn't go anywhere.
You've got me confused with the 4:10 thing though. Being on the west coast of the USA I know that this time of year, right around 4:10 pm, the pavement is really hot. Is that what you mean? A transmission that doesn't slip when it's really hot outside?
Not sure what a Supra has to do with it though....

 

Allow me to help you Abe.

4:10 is his rear end gear ratio.

Supras had 4.10 limited slip rear ends, with the 7.5" diff.

The transmission has nothing to do with anything.

To the op: If you have a 4x4 and you are wanting limited slip, you will have to purchase one aftermarket. The supra rear end is 7.5", and the Truck 4x4 is 8".

 

 

I know you already knew

I figured between you and I informing each other, some other unsuspecting soul may pick up a tidbit of information!

 

yeah, okay. Me, being the drama king, I like to exaggerate for effect.
And you as usual are the realist.

 

get back to wrenching on your Celica. That should preoccupy your time for a day or 30

 

LOL... good advice since even you don't know what the problem is... but I do.

Coincidentally, it does have something to do with a slipping transmission.

 

But it would be proper to tell the OP that:

You can put a 4:10 limted slip differential from the rear end of a Supra in to a 2WD Pickup rear end.
The 'trans' has little-to-nothing to do with it.

 

You two make one hell of a team

And just so we are clear, the Supra is IRS, where the truck has a live rear axle. You can swap the guts from the supra carrier into the truck carrier, to gain limited slip.


Team Splenda, lol
