Question Does it have LSD or no?

Does a 91 Rx-7 Non-turbo have LSD? I've heard rumors that some actually come equipped with LSD on it. I know that the turbos all have them but wasn't sure about the 91 models. How do you check to see if you have LSD besides doing a burn out and checking the tire marks?

I installed an LSD, but it didn't have a silver tag. The only difference I noticed was that the open diff had "M055 2" raised letters, and the LSD had "M055 1" they would appear upside-down on the passenger side of the casing, I think.

Did you read the FAQ for FC at the top of the section before posting???

I guess not

as far as finding out of someone retrofited one, you would need to look inside.

DAMMIT GUYS (rmills1276, lnbrown5981) READ THE FAQ>>>

from the FAQ for FC found at the top of this section:
Did my FC come with a Limited Slip Differential?
Only the following FCs had a LSD from the factory:
86-88 GXL
87-91 T2
88 GTU
89-90 GTUs (however not the 89-90 GTU)
It is also rumored that a few rare 91 coupes with both the A (upgraded the interior trim, added a power sunroof, tilt steering wheel, cruise control, and 4 piston front disc brakes and vented single piston rear brakes) and the B package (leather seating, a CD player, and rear cargo cover) came with a LSD, but you should note that Mazda denies that any FC other than the T2 came with a LSD in 91). You can also tell by looking at the differential as there will be a LSD tag on S4 cars with a LSD.
SO, does that say anthing about convertibles or the 89-90 GXL or GTU having LSD???

NO it doesn't... that means they did not!

Furthermore if you looked at the other sticky threads you would have seen one that said:What did the FC come with/ Options & standard features https://www.rx7club.com//showthread....hreadid=249616

In there are sheets for almost every FC made for the US market... do any of them have a LSD listed for a convertible or a 89-90 GXL or GTU???

NO.

USE the available resources guys... READ WHAT IS ALREADY POSTED.

Viscous, same type as the S5 Turbos (but in the smaller non turbo size).
