How to know questions about C160

[elielalonzo]

I have a 4age 20v Blacktop 5 speed. My current transmission gave up. Since this is also a good chance to upgrade, I want to source a transmission assembly of 6 speed C160 with LSD, also If I have the budget, also source a 6 speed M/t ECU to match the tranny.

My question would be, how to know if the transmission I am buying is a C160 tranny with LSD? In our country (The Philippines) the parts are sold without their corresponding halfcuts so I wouldn't know.

And also, how to differentiate a 5 speed ECU from a 6 speed ECU?

I mean, how to differentiate just by looking at the part itself.

Thanks.

I just got one myself the other day and looked online to confirm,

Oem helical lsd is supposed to look like this

This is supposed to be an open diff

As for the ecus the part number will identify what it is
5sp: 89661‑1A470
6sp: 89661‑1A860

Wow. Thanks so much! Although, I can't find much difference between the two pictures, since when I zoom the open diff picture, I cant seem to make out the shape.
