you probably need to add an LSD friction modifier additive
"ideal for limited slip" doesn't mean anything if it doesn't say specifically what type of LSD it's for

it's an auto, you can't eliminate the switch!
the switch is NOT a "neutral switch", it's the range sensor, or "inhibitor switch" as toyota likes to call it

Of course it won't :) They're really meant for different applications... it was a suggestion nonetheless to let him know what possibilities are there... LSDs do lockup also, so it depends on the subjective definition of "locker" per person ;)
The only factory lockers I know of requires the...
somebody posted this on the *other* forum:

it has part numbers for the Toyota fluid... this is good news for those of us who don't want to go through the trouble of finding a RC hobby shop!
