L.s.d.
I know this may be a noob question, but do all '87 GXL's come from factory with LSD's ? I did a trans. fluid change today and wanted to change the diff. fluid too but there's a metal tag on the fill bolt saying it's an LSD diff. I was almost certain i did not have LSD. So just wondering if i got lucky and bought a car with LSD.

Wow to think that the GTU would have it stock rather than the GXL. What's the difference between GXL and GTU anyway? Oh by the way Mandrake, I really haven't got the oppurrtunity to find out if I had LSD. HaHa i really drive like a grandma.

The GXL is a better model than the GTU. They cost more hehe. The GTU just had some aero shizzle and body colored stuff with the limited slip. The GXL had the adjustable suspension, power ****, the cool door panels and a limited slip.

So the GTU offers no better performance traits than the GXL ? As for the adjustable suspension, how could you tell of it still works in my car ? is there a way to diagnose?

Nope GTU is a GXL with out the suspension and cool door panels. *i think there called map pocket doors* *the ones with the light at the very bottom rear of the door* the GTUs is where its at.

Oh I see, what did they do to lighten up the GTU, Couldn't be that much difference is there? As for being lighter, to match the GXL to the GTU in terms of weight, what would I need to do. But anyway, I guess that doesn't matter because I plan on dynamatting my car. Roadnoise really gets to me.

Read the archives and FAQ. All the information is in there. You just have to search and read. I suggest reading everything in the archives. Amazing amount of information in there.

alrighty, i have an '86 RX without LSD, and i have an LSD i got off a guy i know. i'd like to know, do i just yank the old diff and put in the LSD, or do i need to replace any other parts? (i.e., is it just a direct swap-out?)
