Also with the car jacked up, spin one front wheel by hand. If the other wheel spins the opposite way, you do not have LSD. If both wheels spin the same direction you have a limited slip.
Those are the usual ways to tell, although I've heard of the spinning wheel test not be true for some people.

I've also heard of a non limited slip tranny leaving 2 burn out marks when the owner dropped the clutch... so that may not be a sure way to tell.

but you can drop an LSD into another ex/si trans.
if you look though the axle holes, you can see there is no pin.

but the 'two wheel peel' is the easiest way, if it's in the car.

that's what he said. :lol:





back to OP...

If the tranny is out the car......

If its installed, its pending what kind of LSD as to whether both fronts will turn when jacked up like stated above.. I had a friend with a for sure stock DX tranny that did some wicked 2 wheel burnouts. :lol:

your trans being an auto... i strongly doubt it has LSD, but who knows..
