This was the only reference to a "mechanical" [aka idiot speak for clutch-pack LSD] that I'm aware of. It's entirely likely it will surface in the form of an accessory or TRD branded aftermarket product down the road.

Just to get it off my chest, ALL differentials are mechanical. Open, clutch-pack, and ATB are all mechanical. When you add electrically controlled servos [et al] to an open diff, you're bolting electronics gizmos onto a *gasp* mechanical diff.
